Independence
What is the real meaning of independence?
Independence in dictionary terms means the quality of being independent or not being subject to control by others or not relying on something or somebody else. I have heard people say that they are very independent. Is that really true? How can a person not be relying on somebody else? How can a person just exist in this world without following others or helping others or seeking help from others? Every person needs atleast another person in one way or the other. Then is this idea of independence just a word which everyone fancies to use but dare not implement? I am not blaming anybody but just pointing to the fact that nobody can be independent.
Women specially claim nowadays that they do not want to be dependent ..... they exercise this whole issue against men. But then they do not stop and look that they are not becoming independent but in the run just avoiding men and maybe relying more on other women.
Then some other times when I think of the whole issue, I feel that since God created us one at a time, didnt he also mean us to stay alone if there is no one around for support or to lean on? So I guess when situations do arise, each person can live without another. And so when we do have family and friends around to share our happiness and grief, why bother about all this, right?
