Everything is Connected
All beings and forces are interconnected in a web of relationship.
Nothing exists in isolation. Humans are connected to ancestors, to nature, to the cosmos. Actions have consequences beyond immediate effects. This interconnection means responsibility extends far beyond the individual self.
Pull one thread, and the whole web trembles.
Interconnection principle underlies Mayan environmental and social ethics.

- What Maya wisdom says about good and evil
Nothing stands on its own, so no action stops at its immediate effect. Responsibility reaches further than the person acting.
