Idea #15: The Idea of Dependence

Why is it that new born babies and old people have so many similarities?

Both are so dependent on others even for very basic needs like eating, moving around and it’s generally impossible for them to get through any activity without someone constantly paying attention to them.

I felt today that this is nature’s way teaching us the “idea of dependence”, that by depending on others and completely trusting them in a very innocent way we are being natural, in the true sense of the word natural which means to ‘be in accordance with nature’.   

The dictionary meaning of the word Independent is, “not begin dependent” but I would prefer to think of it as, “In being dependent”.
