Dependence On Others Quotes

• We human beings are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others’ actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others’ activities. For this reason, it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others.

• Jesus never tried to hide his loneliness and dependence on other people. He chose his disciples not as servants but as friends.
