Independence is not always a choice.

Which is often something taken for granted. And, in many ways, we are never truly independent as we reach out toward others looking to interact in some way... but that doesn't diminish it's value. Rather, I would tend to think it increases it. Interdependency is a strength to those who recognize and value it. Therefore, if my incredibly convoluted thinking has any actual credibility(I am quite tired and wielding a fairly foggy mind at the moment), independence = synergy(?) Ha. That almost sounds like one of those misleading ad slogans of the army recruiter commercials.
