Emotional Independence....

We are a patriarchal society so for most parts rules of engagement are formulated by males. I feel males get equally influenced by what family, friends and what others might think about them. I was disowned by my family and a few years back stopped socializing with a group of people and it has been the most energizing and liberating experience of my life where we make most decisions based on what is the most important for the well being of our immediate family. All of a sudden a brand new luxury car or big house and fancy furniture is not that important.

As Socrates put it, “All you need in life is one person to love and one to love you back.”

Thoughts?

I’m not certain that Socrates was suggesting that the “one person” has to be the same individual. LOL.
