Confusion increases

Independence is not needing to rely on another person. I can carry a refrigerator by myself- but if I had to- I sure wouldn’t mind having someone help. Likewise- let’s say you make $50,000 a year and are independent- paying all your own bills and doing ok. You probably still wouldn’t mind winning. The lottery or having bill gates decide to give you money every month. You might be able to buy your own dinner but it would still be nice if a friend treated you once in awhile no? So clear distinction- independent doesn’t mean you’ve in isolation- it means you are able to take care of yourself, not that you refuse any and all help.
