Among my siblings the second child is the more responsible one as he is from the start supported me from my medical needs even though I am not asking, he is just a very good brother.
Our eldest even envied my because my parents gives the most attention to me and do not typically rely on my eldest even on emergencies unlike the second child.
Self-reliance is an excellent way to show others what is our capabilities and what we can do but sometimes we cannot at all times count on ourselves alone, we just need somebody in our lives to give and take.
