An Independent Pondering?

  Thanks to Brenda for hosting Pondering...  This week's topic is:

Independence As a parent, we want our children to grow up into functional, productive and happy adults yet we do not want them to lose their 'need' for us.
 

As a professional, I want the autonomy to make critical decisions and be left alone to get my work completed. On the other hand, I want a support structure for assistance on difficult projects.

As a citizen, I want to be free to make my own choices but I want the government to be able to provide access to things such as education, roads and laws.

As an individual, I want time out for myself. To think and to gather my thoughts yet I need to feel the love and security of others.

While I think I am an independent person, the reality is that I am an interdependent person who sometimes needs space but often needs others.
