Independence and Us

What is it that we should seek independence from? Here are a few possibilities.

Ignorance

Greed

Nepotism

Fraud

Crime

Grime

Guilt

Low self-esteem

Cowardice in thought, action

Discrimination

Exploiting others

Insulting behaviour.

I know it's a long list, but we have been at it for a few years, if we are able to read this.
