Only sometimes.
But it's not clear to me what you are doing. This is why I am interested.
I can think objectively but I don't follow how I can get beyond objectivity.
Unforgiven
I love and do what I will.
I live in China,am married ,have a beautiful 21 month old daughter Natalie who is already being taught by her mother and me how to be independent in her own way.
I can ,and my wife knows that ;so can she ,and I know that -but we don,t and it has nothing to do with any benefits, I think it's called love.
Love and do what you will --I think that was St.Augustine

"Why do we depend on other?" It is because all nature is like singular organism. It is a common question and all scientists make this conclusion. You can see this http://www.kabbalah.info/engkab/science_and_kabbalah/presentations/A_United_New_Civilization.htm

China,
While we often turn to others for advice or opinions in a given matter or topic, we are all in the end free to take that advice or disagree with an opinion.
As rational thinkers, we need some sort of input, "data" if you will, with which our minds ultimately process and draw our own conclusions.
We may conclude our guru, priest, minister, or co-worker are full of it, and go with our original thought, or we may conclude Oprah or Doctor Phil hit the nail on the head. But I think for the most part we seek out the advice of others to confirm what we already have decided.
Of course we are sometimes totally lost, and looking for someone who may have taken the route before.
So, why did you come to us here for answers to this question?

China - you generated some excellent posts here - congratulations!
We are social animals for the most primitive reasons - survival and co-dependence. As we evolve and our brains expand we also look for validation and confirmation among our neighbors, and seek love whether we are lucky or not - we hope to find the one who can fit in comfortably with our desires.
Another answer I have - which sounds flippant and I don't intend it to be - but merely an observation:
We rarely read just one book - so it would seem at our most basic - we need exploration and information from many directions. It is our nature to be curious and to experiment. It is also wise to know that others may have more information on certain subjects than we have - and we would be foolish to overlook the sharing.
I think it is a fine way to be - and while I am an independent and solo flyer - I value interaction with others as much as I do food. The learning goes on.
Edit:
I tried to give you a greeniebut was denied access - so here is one in public.

I 'm to busy living , loving and learning to have time to reason or worry about "survival" or co-dependence or being labeled by those who "know".
I have no need for comparing my self or look for any kind of reassurances "among my
neighbors".I'm not a follower ,I know where I,m going,at least for the last 56 ys.
Wow,just a suggestion- try to love first and then everything will fall in place whether you are lucky or not. perhaps you will even understand how easy it is to love a person who "doesn't fit comfortably with your desires",and how rewarding it is .
Agree,personally I have read countless number of books most of wich I don't remember,what for.But there was one book (and you know what I mean) that has opened my eyes and had changed the course of my life.
.
I don't think it's a matter of being wise knowing that others have more informations but being able to acquire these info. when and if needed .
....
I interact with tens of different "others" , in different situations, every single day ; from a humble Chinese farmer,to an arrogant (sometimes) party leaders,....every day .I value the time spend in solitude .
......and it stops the moment you say..."I know"
Love ,China
