"A person does not become whole until he or she becomes a part of something bigger than himself or herself." - Jimmy Valvano
In other words, none of us is better off completely on our own. The internet gives us greater capability to live in isolation than ever before, but deep down we are social beings. I used interpret "part of something bigger" as a religious reference, but when we spend our time with other people, we are part of a group, and a group is bigger than an individual. I distinctly recall a time in college when I consciously realized how much happier I am being with people than alone. And we owe it to ourselves to find ways to get involved with others, whether its for some noble purpose or just to have a little fun together.
