Connections

 In Walt Whitman's "I celebrate myself, and sing myself," connection is a very important theme.  Disconnection between other humans, religions, and political views have caused disputes ranging in severity from petty arguments to genocide.  

This poem pulls the world together because "every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you," no matter the superficial differences.  Regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation, we are all atoms from the same earth.  Reminding ourselves regularly through both social interaction and literary analysis could help reduce discord between peoples.
