Self Dependency

In society, dependency is a very important aspect of living, and there is many ways to do it wrong. If your social, you may mostly depend on people. This isn't a bad thing, but people are fallible and mortal beings that from time to time tend to move to another location. If your religious, you may depend on God. I myself used to do this. The issue with that, besides the fact that praying feels like talking to yourself (and if you ask me, it probably is), is that God has the same return rate on prayers as wishing does. The other problem is that like wishing, YOU ARE essentially DOING NOTHING. If you base your life on a system that hopes for things to magically happen on their own, you are going to be disappointed (and without a house, food, clothes, and everything else). If you want something done in life, the best thing to depend on is YOURSELF. You, unlike other people or God/wishing can set priorities, put in extra effort, and actually get a job done. That's what is more revered in life anyway. People don't really care about how your life was handed to you by someone else, but how you put in the effort to make it yourself, because inside, we all want to be self-dependent.
