Our lives are so important to us that we tend to think the story of them begins with our birth. First there was nothing, then I was born.. Yet that is not so. Human lives are not pieces of string that can be separated out from a knot of others and laid out straight. Families are webs. Impossible to touch one part of it without setting the rest vibrating. Impossible to understand one part without having a sense of the whole. - Vida Winter . Diane Setterfield
About This Quote

I loved the quote, it is so true. Our life does not start from birth, life begins with our first breath. But we tend to think that our life only starts from the moment we are born and here we are at a certain age and nothing has been able to change that. It is very true that our life is a part of a web that we can’t even touch without setting the rest vibrating.

We all have a certain background and social status, where we grew up and what kind of people we were surrounded with, things that shapes us. There will be a time when things will change for us but our life will never end until we die
