We
hear constantly that we need to take charge of our lives. But at every step
since childhood, we are taught dependence, on parents, family, siblings,
teachers…and then we become dependent on our peers and later, during days of
courtship and marriage on our spouses. It does not end there. There is a
natural dependency on children as we grow older.
I
am not making a case for dependence here. I am only trying to point out that it
is not easy to get out of the stage of dependence unless we become aware of
every sign of dependence and try and reverse it immediately, constantly
training ourselves to consciously take charge of our choices and exercise them
with caution and intelligence.
