YOU are NOT Independent

I believe that the best way to understand the meaning of a vague topic is to analyze the outcome of its paradox. The realization of the important aspects will result in a better recognition of the wisdom behind such topic. In this case, the definition of dependency and how it affects our lives will be our main focus.   

First of all, a society consists of people who feel bounded by its valuable culture and depend on each other to enrich their experience. Logically, those individuals are loyal, faithful and willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their country for freedom. The level of freedom varies from the war of independence to the freedom of expression. For instance, is it possible to be free when we are being judged by the society since we are part of it? Mahatma Gandhi said “Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”  Therefore, our choices are controlled by unwritten boundaries and rules of our cherished society and the world around us.   

Secondly, every human being consists of physical and personality characters which are inherited from the people around us. For example, we are the outcome of two persons' intimate relationship which shaped our physical features. In fact, when we were children, our appearance was identical to one of our parents or close relatives. As a result, during big family gatherings everyone is sure that we are related to them since blood is bonding us together. Also, the person’s interpersonal skills are obtained from the people around him since they raised him to behave in a certain way. Does this mean that you are independent from your family?

Moreover, the human body is a collection of organs connected together with muscles, nerves and veins. Undoubtedly, the body system works in a functional rhythm depending on the role of each organ and monitored by the brain cells. When you catch a winter flu, the white blood cells will fight the infection which will result in raising your body temperature, increasing heart rate and exhausting you physically. This defense mechanism aims to collaborate the energy of your heart  and lungs to protect you from the deadly virus. In a word, this would not have happened if each organ was independent from one another.

In conclusion, not a living object is fully independent, we are all dependent one way or another in different aspects. What keeps us alive is the connection that we have to one another towards improving our well-being.  So, let's respect our differences and appreciate our connection because the world will not be beautiful and meaningful without us harmonizing together.
