[BlindTlk] Fw: The Meaning of Independence?

[Larry Wayland]

There is no such thing as total independence  in this world unless you are living on an island and no one else is there with you.  That, in my opinion would be pretty miserable. How many people build their own cars or houses? How many grow their own food?  I could go on and on.  The idea, I think is do what you can or have time for and develop a skill or get the education so you can earn enough money to pay for goods and services that you want or need and then do without or do the rest yourself.  I think it is fun to be able to do things for yourself, but there is always a lemit to what you can do because of time or skill.

That’s pretty narrow. I don’t know any sighted person that has that kind of independence.

I think independence means doing everything for yourself and never asking for or needing help again. Also - independence is something you work on for a while, and then you have it, and you're all set.
