In an interdependent world, so much or rather many aspects of our individual lives are both directly and indirectly affected by others, are we really, as the old saying goes, "in control of our own destinies?"
Putting aside the various religious beliefs and philosophies that exist regarding fate, faith, predetermination etc., to what extent do we really 'make our own decisions' in today's world....(e.g. "I will smile at least three times today" or "I will have cereal for breakfast" or "I will change my career path within the next 12 months")....
ARE WE LIVING IN AN INCREASINGLY INTER-DEPENDENT WORLD?
In spite of our strongest desires to have our own individuality and and self-expression, IS THIS REALISTICALLY SOMETHING WE EVER ACHIEVE? (EVEN IF WE ARE PAYING OUR OWN BILLS AND LIVING UNDER OUR PROVERBIAL OWN ROOF)?
