I was using the "every man is an island" metaphor to say that each of us is an individual and has the responsibility to take care of our self so we can be a part of something bigger. I did not mean to infer isolation is the way, although some of us are just built that way, and that's ok, too. I see you being of great influence, even if you don't feel like you are doing enough at times. There's the different perspective I was talking about.
