Thomas Moore, an American psychotherapist, suggests we need "a responsibility to the things of the world based on appreciation, affection and relatedness rather than on obligation or abstract principle".
The notion of interconnectedness looks at humans being a definitive factor in creating their own reality. That social reality is not just 'happening' in the world but rather is constructed from the way our private beliefs and intentions merge with those of others. Recognising what beliefs we hold and how they maintain the status quo or create new experiences, opens up opportunities for changing the paradigm we live in.
