"Cuando intentamos sacar algo por sí solo, encontramos que está conectado a todo lo demás en el universo."

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you're picking a flower in a garden. At first, it might seem like you're just holding a single flower, separate from everything else. But if you look closer, you'll realize this flower is connected to a lot of things. It's part of a plant, growing in soil, which in turn is fed by nutrients from decomposed matter. These nutrients came from other plants and animals that once lived. The plant also needs sunlight and water, which come from other parts of nature. In simpler terms, everything in the world is connected. For example, think about the food you eat. A simple apple might appear just as a fruit. However, to grow an apple, you need a tree, soil, water, sunlight, and pollinators like bees. The growth of the tree depends on rain, which is part of the water cycle involving oceans and clouds. This way, something as simple as an apple is linked to many other things in nature. If you understand this, it helps you see the world in a different way. You’ll recognize that your actions affect other things and people, even if you don’t see it immediately. So, by being more aware of these connections, you can make better choices that consider the wider impact, like choosing eco-friendly products or helping others. This makes the world a bit better for everyone.
