independence
this is not in view of the upcoming holiday...
i'd just like to "pen" down my thoughts regarding this.
a drop of water may lose its identity as it joins the ocean, but never a man in society. he is born not for the development of society alone but for the development of himself (ambedkar).
the more independent a person is, the better he can influence others and his surroundings. he won't be lost in the society, but rather, he can transform it. society as the usual scapegoat, therefore, must never be blamed. overemphasis on our social nature often keeps us astray from ourselves. even Jesus taught us, "love your neighbor AS yourself" (mk 12:31). this is not just about measuring the love of others by the love of oneself. it is by knowing, growing in, and transforming ourselves that gives an effective connectedness to others. people who are more independent are more connected.
i may be a drop of water in the ocean, but a drop so distinct, and hopes to make a difference!
