I have a deep urge to be independent, but I think my mind has taken it too far. I want to be able to make everything myself, I want to do all from machining, to electronics and plumbing to bricklaying to programming.

I feel like men reach more for this independence or am I crazy?

I hate paying others for what I could do myself. But I also realize my time is important and has its own value. It might be worth it to have someone else take a look at a task for me. Generalizing is nice, but specializing has its advantages.

I like knowing how to do something. That way I have a choice to do it myself or pay someone else to do it. If you don't know how to do things yourself, you don't have that choice.

Skills are freedom.
