And there is another aspect of dependence, where one depends upon someone to whom one has given one's confidence, one's trust. This way of depending is different; it is one's own choice. In order to depend in that way one must have some reason also. One says, "Because my friend is sincere", "because I trust him", "because this is my relative", or, "because this is someone whom I know I can depend upon." It is just like depending upon a ship to carry one over the sea. There is every reason for one to depend upon the ship. One knows that this ship has sailed perhaps a hundred times from this port to the other port and has always come back safely; everyone knows it. Therefore this is a dependence acquired by reasoning. This dependence is the one we generally see in life.
