Decomposing…
It is tragic to see human beings pursue their lives in a manner that betrays their dependence on other human beings; even more tragic when the insularity and isolationism are extolled as positive virtues to be espoused.

Our individualism is a curse, I believe. We behave as if each of us is the centre of the universe. We need to learn one of nature’s most precious lessons – that we are all interdependent.

Indeed, Gill! I’ve often wondered whether this may be due to the misconceived idea of ‘man’ (humans) having been ‘dominion’ over everything else…. 😉

I hope I got it right:
Es ist tragisch anzusehen, wie Menschen ihr Leben in einer Weise führen, die Verrat an ihrer Abhängigkeit von anderen menschlichen Wesen bedeutet, ja sogar noch tragischer, wenn Provinzialität und Abschottung gar noch als positive, nachzuahmende Eigenschaften hoch gelobt werden.
It is important to deliver a message that one cannot saw off the bough on which one is sitting for the sake of a happy individualism.
