so, i think i've discovered a very concrete fact...and when i state it, you'll be like: well, duh.
there's no way that you can make it in this world alone.
but, in that case, are we ever, as individuals, truly independent? becuase we've all got to depend on one another for something...whether it's a paycheck, role model, emotional comfort, anything. so, i guess what i'm proposing is something quite the opposite of existentialism. of course, i could be very well wrong, and a million people could probably come up with several counter-arguements to this concept. i wonder if anyone has ever come up with such an idea of mine...if not, we'll call it nathanism. i've been waiting a long time to use that term, but i've had nothing to coin it to. i was thinking of making a list of proverbs and sayings, and calling each one a nathanism, but they all ended up being rip-offs of some other quote.
so, that's the question i propose to you...can we ever be truly independent, in the individualistic way?
everybody needs somebody sometime. you can never really make it alone. we're all linked together someway, somehow. all of this is based on dependacy...which contradicts independence. i don't know...i'm leaving my door open for criticism and me being wrong.
but i could be right.
i'd like to thank all my friends for continually supporting me through this weird time. i really appreciate it. a lot. thank you again.
