LIFE AND LIVING
LIFE AND LIVING
Life is given but living is work.
Responsibilities attend gifts. Especially is the above true of your life first . You must take care of yourself ; then your beloved ones; then the rest.
These facts are true of others. Another truth is that helping others helps yourself also. For the life we live is codependent is multifactorial; requires care from others than ourselves to negotiate everything for self.
So like Jacob’s ladder there is ascent and descent with life’s mechanism, factotum, needs.
I need you. You need me. We need other people to sustain ourselves in these given lives.
Mutualities are necessities in dealing with life’s variations.
