You learn from the past, when you weren't thoughtful of others, so you can change in the present, and be a better man in the future.
You are hitting it right on the head....You can live independently while be aware of others.
If you truly want an interdependent relationship with people....What we are discussing is a first step must.
A good example is our relationship. We both have our lives that are independent from each other, but we come together to discuss what is going on. I don't tell you what to do...we just discuss what can be done. You in the end make that final decision. Now if I told you that a,b, and c have to be done and there is no other way....That is me putting my way on you with no regards to your thoughts or feelings.
Now if I suggest a, b, or c based upon our discussions.....and then you make the decision. That is closer to interdependent.
I am not telling you what path you need to walk....I am only offering you what paths may be there from my perspective and you get to decide which path to follow.
