Thanks to an 8-story: Self-reliance and dependence on others, what kind of life do you think will be most comfortable? I was just wondering what the truth had shown me, that the effects of dependence on others have more disadvantages than good ones.
8-story musings:
In a complex interdependent society such as ours, we are ALL enormously dependent on each other from birth to grave, whether we realize it or not — even if one is living in some Ayn Rand self-reliant fantasy world, in which I use the term living (as oposed to dreamng) advisedly.
No man, no woman is an island. Nor is merely seeking “comfort” the true measure of a moral man or woman. Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime (assuming that global warming does not kill off all the fish). But iInspire that very same man to love his neighbors as himself, and you make that life truly worth living for all concerned.
Unfortunately since thee is no edit function, I must re-submit in order to clean up my mistakes.
It would be nice if life itself had an edit function.
