Independent 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.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Kids are a great analogy. You want your kids to grow up, and you don't want your kids to grow up. You want your kids to become independent of you, but it's also a parent's worst nightmare: That they won't need you. It's like the real tragedy of parenting.
