INDEPENDENCE
The rule for decisiveness: anekanta
A gentleman asked me, “Is independence possible?” I said, “Do not ask that. Ask if dependence is possible.” He replied, “Dependence is very clear.” To that I asked, “Why then is independence not clear?”
Independence and dependence are relative. They are connected with each other. If there is dependence then there will be independence and if there is independence there will be dependence. Both are inter-connected. One cannot exist alone. Absolute
