This is the time of year Americans celebrate Independence Day.
But so many people are needlessly dependent.
They are dependent on a spouse.
They are dependent on government.
They are dependent on a substance humans don't need to consume to live.
They are dependent on one or two employers.
Some level of interdependence is necessary for most people. If you don't grow all of your own food, housing, and clothing materials, you trade in order to have those things.
And not everyone can be cut out to be their own boss.
But right now, I'd like to acknowledge and celebrate the Free Men who are independent.
They are free to do what they want because they don't have a spouse, "exclusive" relationship, shared financial accounts, or dependent children.
They don't share their residence with anyone, especially not a woman.
They aren't addicted to booze, nicotine, or other recreational substances.
They have maintained enough health that they aren't dependent on caretakers and aren't restricted from normal life activities.
And they're either retired and/or wealthy enough to no longer have to answer to a boss, or they are their own boss.
Your independence is inspiring. More people should be doing what you've done and are doing. Enjoy your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
