Dont rely on anyone

Why You Should Never Depend On Anyone But Yourself

The fact is that our world exists within a sad reality. We are completely alone in this world and anyone that tells you otherwise is simply lying to you or is too ignorant to understand what it is they are truly saying. You yourself are the only person that you can and ought to rely on. You may say to yourself that you have friends that are there to support you and that you have family that is there to help you when you need help.

This may be true, but it does not change the fact that when push comes to shove and the end is nigh, you are alone — completely. As the saying goes: you come into this world alone and you depart from it alone.

The sooner you come to accept this statement, the sooner you can begin to rely on yourself for all it is that you need from life. Friends are very important in our lives and if we are lucky enough they love us. If you were to tell me that your friends would be there for you if you called on them, I’d believe you. If you were to say that your friends will always be there for you 100% of the time and would sacrifice anything for you, then I’d have to ask you if you were serious.

There will come a time, sooner or later when your friends let you down — no matter how good of friends they are, they are bound to let you down at least once during the duration of your friendship. This is only human nature; we all make mistakes and poor decisions from time to time.

Even if your friends were to always have your back and be there to support you, you have to keep in mind that they have lives of their own. You may be besties at the moment and may remain so for a long time. However, one of you is likely to get married, start a family and drift away. Even if you do keep in touch, you will no longer be as important to them as their wife and kids — as it should be. That’s what it comes down to: how important could you possibly be to other people.

If you imagine life and death situations — the most serious of situations — how many people do you know that would risk their lives for you? How many do you know that would sacrifice their lives for yours? The answer is zero. The fact is that there will always be a circumstance under which your friends will let you down. If there is at least one situation in which your friends would not be there for you, then you should conclude never to rely on friends.

If you can’t rely on something 100% of the time then you should not rely on them ever — by definition, they are not entirely reliable. The only people that you could arguably say may consider giving up their lives to save yours are members of your family — most likely one of your parents. Parents share a bond with their children that at times can be extraordinarily strong.

But again, we are not contemplating over whether our parents would risk their lives for us, but rather whether or not they are entirely reliable and therefore deserve to be relied upon. Of course, the answer is again no. I am sure that you have plenty of examples yourself as to why you can’t always count on your parents.

The reason why human beings are unreliable is because we are egocentric creatures. In our world, we are the center of it. Everything we know and experience involves our existence. Our mental properties are focused on us and always put us ahead of others. This is not to say that you cannot put someone else ahead of yourself — but in order to do so, you will have to be focused and do so with strong intent.

When things are important then we can easily put someone’s well being ahead of our own. However, if we don’t give the particular event importance — even if it were to hold importance for the other person — then we are unlikely to focus on that other person and will automatically hone in on our own wants and needs instead.

We are built to survive on our own, yet simultaneously could not stay sane if isolated indefinitely — we both need and don’t need other people. Nevertheless, one ought to learn how to rely on oneself and not on friends and family. There will come a time when they let you down or are no longer there to lend you support.

Learning to stand on your own two feet all the time will make it easier to stand alone when things get ugly and there is no one there to help you; it could mean a matter of life or death, if not of your body then of your sanity. This is not to say that we shouldn’t ever ask for help — we should ask as often as possible. However, we must be ready to take on any burden ourselves if that is the only possible solution.

“ KEACH ” the best strips according to the author - Linor Goralik

The AST publishing house has published a new collection of comics by his imaginary poet and translator Linor Goralik. Afisha Daily asked the author to comment on the best strips in which the main characters talk about politics, religion and haute cuisine.

The author of the Hare HRC asks to take into account that, thank God, their personalities and fates are in no way identical with the Hare.

The hare loves to pretend that he has no soul at all; in fact, the author once, taking this Hare, investigated. And by research I found: exactly; This Hare also has a soul, only small in appearance and not immortal.

Hare PTs treats his poet friends with loving compassion, which is unusual for him in general. In response to the publication of this comic, one of the poet friends muttered darkly: "It was not a splinter, but a scratch."

Judging by what the author knows, Hare HRC tried several times to be a swinger - and somehow it did not work out for him. Maybe it was the eternal confidence of the Hare that he was unlikely to cope with one thing at one point in time.

The political views of Zayets LC are quite obvious, and once a certain nervous lady at the presentation of the book got to the microphone and asked the question “Why do you love our homeland so crookedly?”. The author of Zayets honestly said that such a question can only be spoiled by an answer.

Hare HZ is an alcoholic who likes to talk about being an ex-alcoholic. When the author of Zayets first came to Russia and asked about someone: "Is he an alcoholic, right?" - the author was gently answered: “Well, why an alcoholic? He is a drinker." Something like that.

Hare PTs — a deeply religious person, but at the same time somehow afraid of his own faith; his religious affiliation could be described as a "spontaneous Protestant"; at least that the doctrine of the universal priesthood is close to him, there can be no doubt.

If the Hare were asked to describe himself in one single word, he would say: "Not enough." He is a person who always feels “not enough”: not good enough, not smart enough, not caring enough about others, not politically active enough, not enough this, not enough that. And those who go to yoga are not enough.

The hare belongs to that unpleasant category of workaholics who function well only when they endlessly whine to others about their overload, runaway, fatigue and exhaustion. Such people don't eat speed - you really can't work and feel fresh, cheerful and energetic.

The hare, of course, has never heard the command “Pley!” and with his characteristic aplomb, he talks about what he does not know. Including - about verbal interjections, pay attention.

Being generally inclined to flatter himself, the Hare believes that he could get rich if he chose another, as he likes to say, "life path." Taking this opportunity, the author hurries to assure the character that he could get rich only if he chose another author.

Like many people with psychiatric illness, Hare likes to rationalize the causes of his own disorder and believe that the roots of the situation are rooted in education. No, it doesn't.

One day a big company asked the author to make a comic strip with a Hare for them about very good, very pleasant children's books. Since the books were very good and very pleasant, the author could not, no matter how hard he tried.

In response to this comic, the author of Zayets received a letter accusing him of "betraying his own" and stating that this comic "informs the authorities about the mood prevailing among the opposition. " Before that, of course, the authorities idealized the opposition.

One of the main life strategies of the Hare is the strategy of low expectations. Don't expect anything, don't count on anything, don't rely on anyone. The sauce will be rancid, the vegetables will be rotten, the salad will be sour, and in general they will not take the Hare into it.

Hare's relationship with mathematics and BDSM is about the same: in both, the Hare is equally bad - but at the same time, he is interested in both with painful persistence.

Not really.

The author wants to lie that this comic was meticulously recorded while watching the news from the iPad in Jean-Jacques, but this would not be true: in fact, everything happened in Apartment 44.

This comic was drawn at the height of the 2015 currency crisis, when it seemed that if not everything, then almost everything. In the comments under the comic, a heated debate immediately broke out about the varieties of buckwheat and about the comparative advantages of buckwheat brewed with boiling water overnight over buckwheat, say, freshly boiled; and there the ruble somehow settled down.
