[nabs-l] An update on my independence

[Carly Mihalakis]

Evening, Rona,

         Although often blind people's quest for "independence" is 
tauted by many as an end all be all, It is another way, in  my humble 
opinion, to identify when and how, you need the help/support of 
others. According to Dr.King, humans are social animals, even blind 
ones, so it is a move toward further isolation, in my opinion, to 
claim a fulfilling existence souly on your own.

So, the presence it sounds like your parents are playing in your 
quest for "independence" is, in fact, interdependence, something that 
acknowledges a reality in which no man ought to believe himself an 
island and, we ought to give back to others if in the form of showing 
how we make lives for ourselves the myriads who help us, on a regular 
basis, live the life we both want and need.
