"A person does not become whole until he becomes a part of something bigger than himself"
Simplified meaning
When people focus only on their own lives and needs, they might feel something is missing. True fulfillment often comes when they join and contribute to something larger, like a community, cause, or organization. For instance, think about someone who volunteers at a local charity. They may start by thinking they are just helping others, but over time, they feel a deep sense of belonging and purpose. Helping others and being part of a group aiming to make the world better gives them a sense of wholeness they couldn’t get alone. People can apply this idea by seeking out ways to connect with and help others, whether it’s through volunteering, joining a club, or working towards a common goal. Engaging in these activities helps people feel more complete and satisfied with their lives.
