I have just discovered something I have always known: we can no more escape from one another than we can escape from God.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker describes a discovery that also feels like something always known. Human connection is then compared with an inescapable relationship to God. That paradox gives the realization its force: an old belief becomes newly vivid, making separation from others seem impossible within this perspective.
