About This Quote

Independence has made us soft is a common phrase that people use to explain how being independent has actually made them softer. Independence often makes us feel as if we have no responsibility towards those around us. In an independent society, it is expected that people will do as they please and there will be no need to consider the feelings of others. If someone is hurt, hurt them right back.

This attitude of independence also makes people feel as if they have no reason to be kind to each other. If someone is sad, ignore them and they will eventually get over it.
