it just goes to show that man, though unique, is a rational and social being.we have the tendency to regard the idea of others as simply great and to me, it is just but a recognition that while we aspire to be independent we acknowledge the greatness of those we love and trust so much...our family and friends. at the end of the day, they will be the first ones to get hurt when we fail to manage our own affairs, when our erstwhile organized life turns into shambles. the people we love would always feel the enormous pain whenever we have a bad fall and it's always comforting to know that we see God in them the moment they pick us up...
nevertheless, decision making must be well thought of, especially when it concerns the economics of the family, as in venturing into investments. it's entirely different when one is single (meaning no child, no wifey/hubby, no dog, etc...) as one could afford to be adventurous...
