The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all it’s parts are many, they form one body. Now the body is not made up of one part but many. Those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor… So that should be no division in the body, but that it’s part should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
