"We live in a world that has narrowed into a neighborhood before it has broadened into a brotherhood"

About this Quote
This quote by Lyndon B. Johnson talks to the idea that, while the world has actually ended up being progressively interconnected, we have yet to reach a point of true worldwide unity. In other words, while the world has actually lessened and more available, we have yet to develop a sense of brotherhood and understanding in between all people. This quote suggests that, while we may be living in a world that is more linked than ever previously, we still have a long way to precede we can truly call ourselves an international community. We should make every effort to produce a world where people of all backgrounds and cultures can come together in peace and understanding. Just then can we truly state that we have expanded into a brotherhood.
