Summary

This quote speaks to the consequences of our disconnection from various aspects of life. It suggests that as humanity has become detached from the larger context of the universe, from the natural world, from social bonds and from interpersonal relationships, we have become divided and broken. This quote underscores the idea that our well-being and wholeness are dependent on our connections and interdependencies with these elements. By neglecting or severing these connections, we deprive ourselves of the harmony and unity that they bring, resulting in a sense of fragmentation and isolation.

When a friend, then, indulges in the joy of unburdening a secret on to another friend's bosom, he makes the latter, in his turn, feel the urge to taste the same joy himself. He implores him, it is true, not to tell a soul; but if such a condition were taken absolutely literally, it would at once cut off the flow of these joys at their very source. The general practice is for the secret to be confided only to an equally trustworthy friend, the same conditions being imposed on him. And so from trustworthy friend to trustworthy friend the secret goes moving on round that immense chain, until finally it reaches the ears of just the very person or persons whom the first talker had expressly intended it never should reach.

Europe has been at peace since 1945. But it is a restless peace thats shadowed by the threat of violence. Europe is partitioned. An unnatural line runs through the heart of a very great and a very proud nation Germany. History warns us that until this harsh division has been resolved, peace in Europe will never be secure. We must turn to one of the great unfinished tasks of our generationand that unfinished task is making Europe whole again.
