Today is Independence Day, but despite our relative independence from Great Britain, we are not, as individuals, independent from each other. We all rely on each other. I relied on medical professionals last night. I relied on my mom for transportation. People rely on me for physical labor and assistance. We all rely on farmers, plumbers, electricians and other unsung heroes to keep this nation running. We rely on past generations to make this life possible, and future generations are relying on us to improve this nation and not mess it up. We all rely on each other.
It's hard to picture anyone being fully independent from others, but that's okay. As long as we still have each other, we can still afford to rely on each other. And if one of us becomes unavailable for whatever reason, we can rely on others to help fill the gap.
Very few people are completely self-sufficient and independent, and that's okay. We're all in this together. So long as everybody keeps helping each other, we can all continue to rely on each other for help.
