“We are, each of us, angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing each other.”

I think this is a great metaphor, because I think it affirms the dependency that we should have for one another. In our society, we have this false conception that we are these great, independent people who do not need the help or assistance of others. I think we miss out on a lot of opportunities to support, lift up, and encourage each other simply because our pride and our independence does not allow us to let others support us. We pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps, often to our own detriment. When we embrace each other, the synergy of our efforts will take us much farther than we ever could have gone on our own.
