Mine is yours

Some people say that we're connected to all living things on earth, and to each other. When you promise your whole being to someone special, you say "what's mine, is now yours". But what if that's bigger than we realize? Maybe there's so much more than we ever thought. Aren't we all connected in so many more ways that we ever could've imagined.

If I have a bad day, you suffer for it. If you go to war, it being in my country or not, in the end, I will be effected by it. All those millions of people having to deal with the consequences of someone else's actions. Is that fair? Is that the meaning of "mine is yours". When you swear yourself to someone else, is that nothing but a threat, and not a declare of true and eternal love. Or is it both? Do we have to have one, to have the other?
