Benjamin L. Corey Quotes
From our earliest years, American culture reinforces the notion that we are all completely independent individuals. Sometimes we call it “personal responsibility” and other times we call it “rugged individualism,” which, in and of themselves, are not entirely negative concepts. Taken too far however, these cultural concepts lead us to believe we really are the captains of our own ship, that our primary responsibility is to our own selves, and that we can do this all on our own.
