Not connected with another or with each other; separate.
That is one of the many definitions that I found on the word INDEPENDENT. I have become disturbed with the way my generation has embraced no needing anybody. We are all individuals that's true, but we can't exist without one another. We have become so ego driven that we don't even possess common sense. I'm so sick of hearing women say, "I don't need a man for shit". And the fellas that say women are only good for sexual pleasure. Those two perspectives explain why relationships between black men and women are so dysfunctional. Imagine if your father said he didn't need any woman at all, you probably wouldn't be here today. When will we wake up and understand that we all need somebody? That old saying, "it takes a village to raise a child", was true. We can all see that without the village in place, the lost generation has been produced.
I'm not going to act like having a sense of self-reliance is bad at all, there is nothing wrong with being a self-motivated person. I just dislike the fact that needing help along the way is now viewed as a weakness. We all need somebody else at various times and for various reasons.
I will Blame It On The music for this trend that needs to stop!
