Yes, I like to do for myself without depending on others as much as I can, never asking for what I could do for myself, but I will never ever be totally independent. even though paying, I have to rely on others for services and such just as they rely on my purchasing those services so they can pay for their services.
Funny, people complain a lot about other people and such, but when stranded on an island or whatever they freak out because there are no other people, or even a limited amount of people. I feel like I would love to be marooned, but in fact I would be yearning for company. Even if we had all the supplies we needed, we would risk our lives to find other people. We need each other not only for things we need and want, but for emotional purposes as well.
