67 Independence【Life】Dialogue with the Universe
“It
is experience precious to a young person to notice "a difference between
oneself and the others." It
becomes the cause to go to independence. However,
regrettably many people will go to dependence with reverse independence. By uniting with familiar someone, they try to
negate loneliness.
The
object of their dependence is a sweetheart, the best friend, or a family. Those dependence is only the means for curing
one's loneliness. Therefore, the self-centered action which disregards a
partner's character and goes to monopolize thoroughly is seen frequently. Or they lose themselves completely and are under
the partner's thumb.
It
can be said that it is just manifestation of dependence, if they would like to
meet their partner every day, or desire to be together always, or want to
monopolize their partner. Even
if the wish is filled temporarily, it never lasts long. Because their partner are different existence
from them, and they are another characters.”
・・・
“When
it is in dependency, the leading role of your life is not yourself. The partner for dependence is the leading role of
your life, and is governing your life. With
independence, we become the leading role of our life.”・・・” Anyway, a dream cannot
be realized while you have been weak lonely. That
everybody take over loneliness and try hard towards realization of a dream
makes possible the better human relations which respect mutual character.“

Your time is
limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped
by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the
noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And
most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. -Steve Jobs(1955-2011)
