Summary

This quote highlights the illusory perception of separation among humans. It suggests that our innate misconception is to believe in a strict dichotomy between self and others, leading us to perceive ourselves as separate individuals and perceiving others as separate from us. However, this notion overlooks the interconnectedness and interdependence that underlies human existence. It prompts us to question the boundaries we set, encouraging a more holistic understanding of our shared humanity and the interconnected web of life we are a part of.
