"This world is the world of relationship, of I and Thou, self and other. It is a world dependent on balance, interdependence, and harmony. If you focus only on yourself, you treat the world as an It, a means toward your own ends; and in so doing you isolate yourself from others and exile yourself from the world." From Ethics of the Sages: Pirke Avot, translated by Rabbi Rami Shapiro
