What is interdependence?
When I consider your dignity, my dignity is automatically included.
When I consider your well-being, my well being is automatically included.
When I consider your safety, my safety is automatically included.
Does not matter if the other is a friend, spouse, child, colleague, police officer, opponent on legal proceedings, doctor, estranged family relative, sworn enemy etc.
The more the difficulty to consider the other, the deeper the opportunity to meet best possibility of self interest.
The inability to perceive possibilities and creative choices from interdependence is a gap in capacity in our nervous system entraining and our limiting beliefs about life.
To be a mature trustworthy Homo Sapien is to be able to embody this -
I hold responsibility for my choices AND accountability for their impact on others.
I stewards my needs AND consider the needs of others.
It is having the innate perception that:
I depend on everything, and everything depends on me.
Including planet and plants and animals and others you don’t like for any reason.
