Too often I hear people talk about being independent. But there is no such thing as independent in this life. Everything we do, even eating an apple, is interdependent. The same is true of our country! We celebrate Independence Day because it is the day we gained our independence from England but we are not an independent country. We are interdependent.
Everything we do in this life, is a part of many people coming together to make it happen. Let’s look at eating an apple. It took the farmer, the labor on the farm, the truck driver who took the apples to the packing place, all the workers in the packing place, then another driver, etc. Finally it is in your hand ready to be eaten. But you depend on hundreds of people to do their part for you to have that wonderful juicy apple.
