“We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others’ actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others’ activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others.” The Dalai Lama

Here are some questions to ponder over the weekend in your journal:
Who do you depend on?
Who depends on you?
How do you benefit from the activities of others around you?
Which connections with your pets, friends, colleagues and family make you the happiest and why?
These are lovely prompts yet they evoke a sadness in me as I watch my newly fledged 18 year old first year med student try to find her connections in a new city, with new people and a whole new way of living….
