We love independence and freedom of thought and the accomplishments we can brag about on our own. My granddaughter like to say: “I do it”.  We grow up on an individualistic society and want to prove to ourselves that we can do it. We applaud those who accomplish something by the power of their own will and look down on those who are lazy, unaccomplished, poor in a society that promotes ingenuity.  As wonderful as industriousness and hard work are good virtues to possess, these values, with the wrong mind set, can be detrimental to us."}
