your entire life is dependent on the actions of others. see: climate change, pollution (air/water/noise/light), road safety, etc. etc.

in the first examples you give (cigarette leading to fire, overflowing bathtub leading to water damage), it sounds like you're thinking of a complex with deeply inadequate fire safety and waterproofing.

for the rest, yes, communities are fractured – some would say as a deliberate means of social control through isolation – and little in the world is going to be improved without fixing that.
