Day 28 · Interdependence
Stability is something we lend each other.
Independence is often a story told after other people, public systems, luck, and inherited resources have already made stability possible.
Have a think
Stability is something we lend each other.
The thought
Interdependence is not a defect to outgrow. It is the ordinary condition of a life. The responsible question is not whether someone needs support, but whether the support preserves dignity and expands their room to act.
A task for today
Share one resource that increases another person’s stability without increasing your control over them.
