What is your relationship to independence?

Posted on Jul 4th, 2009 by

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

Do you allow yourself to rely on others?

...yes , selectively ...i believe in the concept of interdependence in relationships ( of course, a day may come when i would be totally dependent on others !! and no one would be dependent on me for anything ...and i shudder at the very thought of it !! )

Do you mind when others depend on you?

...no..and my responsibility towards him /her bounds to weigh me down !!...

Would you like be famous?

Posted on Jul 10th, 2009 by

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 10, 2009:

...an emphatic NO !!...
...i value my unique identity,my freedom, my privacy, my security and my solitude ..
....these will be the first casualities the moment you become famous !!..
.....knowing well how transient being famous is and how invariably one ends up with an ignominious fall , i prefer to stay a commoner !!..
.....mind you, that people who were behind you lauding all your so called achievements will be the first to pelt stones at you the moment you fall !!...
...i believe that higher up you go harder you will fall !!...
...those who know basic history and watching what is happening around will readily agree with me !!...
