LIBERATION FROM DEPENDENCY
Liberation from Dependency To be able to ‘read between the lines’ means to perceive or deduce a meaning that is hidden or implied rather than being openly stated. ‘Independent’ is being free from outer control, not subject to another’s authority, and capable of thinking or acting for oneself. In other words, genuine liberation. We are … Continue reading
