Why Do We Need To Know The Twelve Links of Dependent Origination?

So we can learn that the so-called "I", "Me", "Mine" are all made up from interdependence and conditions. Without interdependence and conditions they become nothing. We are nothing but relationship.

A wife exists because a man agreed to be her husband. Likewise, a husband exists because a woman agreed to be his wife. Later, if they disagree with the duties of being a couple, they get separated from each other and become unrelated people. Before they got married, they were also unrelated.

A mother exists because a child entered life coming out from her body. The daughter exists because she was born to a mother.

So all things on this earth are but social relationships, agreements, interactions; by default.
