Dependant or Independant ???

When folks take great pride in how independant they are I have to laugh. :-/

Folks say they have a nice great running new car, a great job, food in the fridge, their own home and a big screen tv. etc ... etc ... etc

Here's my questions?

If the car stops running can you get to work? If the gas pumps stop running and there is no gasoline, can you get to work?

If your boss goes out of business or decides to hire his nephew can you pay your bills?

If you had no grocery stores could you feed your families?

If there was no elcetric could you read at night, frigerate you food or take a hot shower?

Has it ever occured to the modern world how they are a VERY dependant people not independant.

We rely on mortgage companies, banks and landlords for our shelter.

We rely on grocery stores for our food ... We rely on others for employment.

We rely on the electric, gas and other utilities for lights, power, bathing, cooking or heat your homes, etc.

We rely on finance companies, insur companies, petol/gasoline stations for transportation. Who in return rely on the above mentioned things to run their businesses ......  We rely on schools to educate or children and day cares to care for them while we work.

The list goes on and on and on.

An independant more modern culture     :-/   :-/    :-/   I don't think so

And folks wonder why there is so much crime, teen crime, greed, laziness and sleeplessness and stress and such.

Some pride themselves as being very independant while they are in fact VERY dependant on many for their basic living needs.

We've sure come a long way .... progress     ???    Just food for thought
