Achieving independence is not a little thing.
Maintaining independence may even be a bigger thing.
Learning to balance independence with interdependence is the
greatest thing of all.
Countries, like individuals, families and clans, are not
lone wolves. We’re at our best when we find and sustain the precious balance of
autonomy and interconnectedness.
This is what I resolve to continue to work on,
and celebrate today.
Yes, I agree. I think we, as a culture, often fail to value the importance of interdependence as we should. Happy 4th to us all!
