Quote by Henry David Thoreau

We live thick and are in each other's way, and stumble over one another, and I think we thus lose some respect for one another.

We live thick and are in each other's way, and stumble over

Summary

This quote suggests that because we live in close proximity to one another, constantly interfering and obstructing each other's paths, we tend to disregard and devalue one another. The constant clash and lack of personal space lead to a loss of respect and appreciation for each other's individuality. The quote highlights how our constant presence in one another's lives can inadvertently breed a sense of disregard rather than fostering mutual respect.
