“our identity is constituted as well by the countless other dramatis personae in the play that is our lives, who together bring into existence the context in which our own roles make any sense. This fact should call upon us to rethink our supposed independence. And this can be a wonderful realization: we gain a deeper appreciation towards those who help us to become who we are, and a deeper sense of responsibility to others, when we appreciate our collective roles in constituting one another’s identity. The resulting humility, gratitude, and resolve both reflect a deeper understanding of our identities and make us better people.”
