self-sufficiency is a term thrown around a lot when it comes to singapore studies. they even joke the merlion is such a weird combination of cat and fish simply to symbolise the country's self-sufficient nature.
but can pple possibly be self-sufficient? can we live our lives completely independent of others. what is this concept of independence? right now, i feel totally dependent. emotionally, financially etc. it leaves a feeling of helplessness almost. like a lack of control over one's life. but do we really want to live a life in complete self-sufficiency? i dunno.
what a random rant. the heat is gettting to me.
