A practical viewpoint, a independent and self-reliant person is able to pursue original thoughts and ideas, while successfully navigating the basics of life without an unreasonable amount of assistance. This includes the ability to obtain food and shelter, live a healthy lifestyle, earn a living, and maintain healthy relationships.Total self-reliance is neither possible nor desirable. No one can handle the challenges of modern day life without the assistance of others. Sooner or later, you'll need legal assistance, a new transmission, or a trip to the emergency room.
