Horizontal accountability is required.
We are not islands of independence, living lives free of one another. We are made to relate and to answer to one another. By being accountable, I will gain insight I don't have in myself. Because I lack sufficient strength and wisdom to cope with pressure, temptation, and pride on my own, I need others near me. I need additional strength.
