I will at least concede your point about being a person on their own. I meant more self-reliance of being capable of taking care of yourself. The concept of total self-reliance is of course a fabrication, in that all living organisms require something external to function and sustain themselves. But practically speaking, I raised myself my whole damn life. It's embarrassing to need an assist when it comes to crossing the street.
