At our core, each person stands alone. No matter how connected to others we may feel, our thoughts, choices, and responsibilities ultimately belong to us alone. Others can guide, advise or lend support, but they cannot fully understand or live our experiences. There’s a dire need for cultivating personal accountability and inner strength, and take ownership of their lives. We must confront fears, decisions, and purpose independently, as life a deeply personal journey shaped by one’s own courage and resolve.
Years ago, esteemed French philosopher Jacques Derrida emphasised the importance of taking ownership of our lives and develop independence of thought.
