Interdependence


If you ask yourself: "Why am I here?", what is your answer? Do you believe you were born by chance, that your life is an accident that might not have happened, or do you feel that your being alive has a purpose, a specific purpose? If you think that you are in this world by a whim of fate, then you will live your life without a goal, without enthusiasm and, most probably, with no joy. On the other hand, if you trust that you are alive for  a reason, for a good reason, you will realize that you are important, that you matter, that your actions are meaningful, that your existence is useful. Useful to whom? To yourself and to others, because your life is strictly linked to all the other lives on the planet. As scientists have proved that sub-atomic particles exist only in connection with other particles, so human beings, too, can find the purpose of life in their relationship with other creatures.
