Independence...not everything it's touted to be. We have been trained for the last one or two decades–don’t rely on ANYONE–not a single solitary person, to tout your own fulfilled and wholesome individual. We make homes, We make children, We even make love….alone.
Think about this.
It’s become such an incredible influence to our deep rooted core, that we have forgotten the most basic human, loving and soulful aspect to our lives…..reliance. Have we become so intensely subordinate to our core values that we sustain ourselves above and beyond reliance ?
This is basic.
Our values as a society now dictate that people no longer NEED each other?...Cont. from PPI newsletter--We have no sustained efforts toward mutual honor and respect, that we forsake even the kindest gestures toward one another?
I cannot fathom the ideology here.
So much and so many of us have become entwined in this independence that we shout to the heaven’s, “I require no one to be or become, therefore, I am perfectly happy and content going it alone!”
It has become so incredibly acceptable to be alone, so many deeply concerned and loving people get lost in the proverbial shuffle of this so called independence. All this leading us to a dead end curve of loneliness, longing and independence.
Oh, there may be success in monetary value within that independence, but at the end of the day, do you truly wish to be too independent (and alone) ?
I for one know, in the deepest aspect of my existence, I am NOT independent. I will myself for lack thereof, for I truly know that happiness comes from union. That union reflects reliance on other’s. Reliant Honor, Reliant Respect, Reliant Admiration…even Reliant Love.
I have formed a unity of mutuality. My mind is filled with combinations of joined effort. I seek that which would fulfill me most.
Reliance upon other’s.
I feel no worse for it, nor will I allow outside forces to facilitate a mocking gesture towards me.I am NOT independent. I am no longer to go it alone.
For within you, I not only seek a proverbial lack of independence, I seek solitude, with you, by my side. May respect and love attack independence. May the best word win. My wish for the ages.
May you NEVER be too independent...again!
What life plans are you attached to? Have you ever felt yourself holding on so tight to how your think your life should look, that you miss opportunities that are put in front of you for something even better?
