What is your relationship to independence?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 04, 2009:

physically, i don't know how one can be non-depenent. it is all interconnected. coffee from africa, bagels from the guy down the street, electricty from here, something else from there. and its a long chain back to each source. and everyone along the line is dependent on who comes before and who comes after. my continued existence is all about dependence.

unfortunately, for the most part, psychologically/mentally it's the same story. tradition, belief systems, gossip, etc. all part of the background that makes up 'who i think i am'.

physical dependence on others is a given.

psychological/mental dependence on others does not have to be.

imo
