    Today the Eyres suggest that "Independence" is a mindset for the first half of life which proves, in the second half and in the spiritual and emotional and social sense to be a lie. We are dependent on God and interdependent on strangers, as well as on those we love. An alternative mindset called "Synergicity" is suggested and metaphors and examples are given.
