"A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle"

This quote by Benjamin Franklin is a pointer to us that we should not be too concentrated on ourselves and our own requirements. It is important to keep in mind that we become part of a bigger community which our actions and choices can have an effect on others. By being too wrapped up in ourselves, we can become isolated and disconnected from the world around us. This can cause an absence of understanding and empathy for others, and can make us feel little and unimportant. The quote is a reminder to us to be mindful of our actions and to think about the larger picture. We ought to aim to be open-minded and considerate of others, and to be knowledgeable about how our actions can impact those around us. By doing this, we can make a positive contribution to our neighborhood and to the world.
