Dependence

Dependence is a nasty little habit. When people become dependant, they obviously need someone to hang on to and they don't rely on themselves. Independence I think is one of the most valuable skills in the world. For once someone has the skill to be independent, they are able to be a leader in most respects.

Now, I admit that not all dependence is bad. For example, depending on a parent for housing, food and clothing. That isn't a bad thing, just as long as you are responsible enough to take over that position after you say, move out of the house and have a family of your own. On the other hand, dependence in an emotional stance is an awful thing. For once somebody can't rely on them selves to handle their emotions, they need to rely on others, which is difficult for both parties.

This is where religion can play an awesome part. Let's start with the easiest case. A child is brought up with religion in their lives, and follows and believes it until they die. This person is probably going to be independent, emotionally at least, because they can handle it. For the things they can't handle, they have their God(s).

That is why true religion rocks. (That is of course talking only about those religions that have God(s) that partake in this kind of God/believer relationship) Because, for example in Christianity, there is God, who will always be there for you to talk or pray or . . . communicate with/too. So you don't have to rely on other people.

New example. Child who has never been brought up in active religion or ever does. This child is independent because they learned how to deal with their emotions sufficiently. Since it is pretty much impossible for a person to always deal with their emotions, they break down once every long while. Oh well.

Third Case. One whose has been brought up with religion, but gives it up or just doesn't believe it. One of two things can happen. Independent: They don't believe in their religion, understand that fact, deal with their own emotions. Dependant: Don't really believe in their religion, take every single problem they have, ones that they would have communicated with God with and gone through with, and have everyone else deal with them .... with them. Oh well.

If you are reading this far, you deserve a cookie. I really don't think anybody in their right mind would take the time to read this just because of the fact that I wrote it. If anyone would like to discuss this with me, please go ahead. Note also that having an opinion and expressing it, thus engaging in discussion, is not an argument, despite what some people think. It is merely a discussion. These seem to go best when over the internet, and not in person, because the Human mind is feeble and unable to think how they would normally think when with other Humans.

So What about those reality TV shows. Aren't they just awesome! I mean come on, figure out the flaws in human behavior. The best ones are the ones that can't be changed at al, then finding the people that fit together like a bicycle fits into a small cell phone, and make them do ridiculous things. Ahhh I love humans. The only race to do most of what we do for pleasure. We live to work. Where as many other folk work to live. Why can't America care about life and family and health instead of money and.... oh wait I'm not sure the majority of America cares about anything else.

Whoa.
