They are jealous, afraid to look beyond their garden fence and they are also brainwashed by the media that 'the world out there is dangerous' - so they behave like Crabs in a pot of Crabs. Every crab that tries to get out is simply drawn back by the other crabs. How come, billions of people survive anywhere else on this planet? And how come the cities with the highest murder and crime rates are in the U.S.? Doesn't all make sense somehow, does it? ;;) Yeah, PatrickW, that is simply ‘Crab Mentality’.

Hm...funny, don't millions of of tourists go the Dominican Republic every year, and millions more go to other exotic destinations in the Caribbean? When I walked around the beach, I didn't see a million dead bodies with their throats slit. The kicker is that she is originally from Jamaica, an island in the Caribbean! It also turns out that she too had a long-distance relationship with a Jamaican boyfriend whom she met while on vacation. Funny how she came out both the island and the relationship with her throat intact. It turns out that her negative attitude was because "If you men all go off finding your exotic girlfriends, what is left for us American women?" Talk about mind control through fear. Apparently those who want to control you always have something to gain from you.

You are independent, if you can afford to define your life like you want to and not be bound to the limits society tries to put onto you. :D Noel, agree with you and for sure it’s a different thing for everyone.

For me, as long as you can stand to your decision and feel that you are the one who can only decide foryourself, you are independent enough.

Now I know, I'm not alone :). It's nice to have this article as it gives me a perspective about myself better. Thanks John and you, Chris, for providing such a great article. P.S.: it seems you currently live in Indonesia, right? I thought I were alone when I have this mindset of independence in my mind. Now I know, I’m not alone .

In Germany we term it "I press my thumbs for you that everything will work out well", but the English term is a bit different. ;) It means nothing else than that I wish you all the best for your planning!

At least you learned a second language - that is already more than most native English-speakers can say of themselves. Best of luck to your exams and I will keep my fingers crossed for your big America trip! :D Don’t worry Mary – your English is definitely good enough.
