I offer this quote by an earthy woman:
“To have a real life, people must participate in real community. In fact, a

truly know and care about each other.” ~ Mary Pipher

Self-reliance is certainly the key to freedom. Independence from man, dependence upon God and nature.
However, those who wish to be independent of, and free from, God, have a risky gamble depending on nature alone, because independence from God leads to a violation of nature’s laws. And nature is a remorseless disciplinarian.
