About This Quote

Haruki Hara a Japanese writer said, “It was my journey and i had to do it without help. I had to find my own strengths, face my own fears”. Being independent is a great quality. It means that you have to rely on yourself and not others to help you see the world.

It also means that you have to be comfortable with being alone and being vulnerable. In reality, it is neither of these things. In fact, the opposite is true.

The greatest help comes from those who are closest to you and can offer their support when you most need it. When we do things alone, then we are forced to rely on ourselves and that is a scary thing. It may also prevent us from learning from the people around us and that can lead to some very dangerous situations for those who don’t pay attention.
