hi ladyvera
Plainly humans are totally dependent on others for significant periods of their lives. When able sure look after yourself and look after others as you yourself have been and shall be looked after. We are social animals.

hi Fernie ·
haha no indeed we are not clones. We are however social animals and all humans have periods in their lives of total dependency and none have more than a passing acquaintance with independent living.

that wasn't my response. but I think the general sentiment I'm trying to convey is about taking responsibility for oneself and feeling empowered by that.

hi ladyvera
apologies.
Yours is a good and valuable point. I retain my view of our context though.

@sogdianrock As adults we should not be dependent on anyone. What does that mean "none have more than a passing acquaintance with independent living?"

hi Fernie
well did you build the internet, power it, make your own clothes, build your own house.
Sure those who can should when they can.

hi ferny
I got a message:

Fernie and 1 other have replied to your comment - hi ladyvera Plainly humans are totally dependent o....
@sogdianrock you truly are rid...

Then nothing was there.

Maybe you were going to say ridiculous? haha sorry I was being ridiculous to make a point. I just think it is wrong to make too much of being independent. Although plainly is great to be independent as much as possible.

hi starrybunny
oops
thanks for explaining.
I am annoying I know that.
I do have a mission to make people at least consider being polite though.

@sogdianrock yes but you need cash to pay for all that. its not like they do it only out of the goodness of their hearts. Plenty of people don't even have those things you mentioned for lack of cash

hi starrybunny
I am proud that you find me so.
I think she was making a fair point. I was just intent on making a different point also.

@starrybunny I highly doubt that dear...I don't talk to people as if they were morons or take every word people say to an extreme....I don't get snarky with people then say best wishes.THAT is strange as hell

hi ladyvera
well anyone on SW has to at least have access to them. That just makes my point even more though. Sure some own houses and some rent them and some live in them within family groups. It is simply hard to be an isolated self sufficient individual which is fine as we are social animals.

@sogdianrock That's one way of looking at it. the other is that we are alone in our bodies. noone can truly walk in our shoes and some journeys the most epic ones can only be taken alone like death for example people can be around to soothe and guide that journey but you are the one who has to go through it

hi ladyvera
haha touche!
wise words.
Best wishes
