Summary

This quote emphasizes the interconnectedness and interdependence of human lives. It suggests that just as people cannot escape breathing the same air, they cannot avoid the consequences and repercussions of their actions on others.

It serves as a reminder of the moral responsibility individuals have to consider the impact they have on others and the potential consequences that their actions may have on the collective well-being of society.
