Standing Without Assistance

If there is anything that is less useful than standing with assistance, it is standing without assistance. Do not misinterpret my meaning - I still appreciate standing without having to hold onto anything. I feel so much pride each time I do so for my accomplishment, as well as a sense of thrill at the risk I am taking. I laugh often and applaud myself for being so daring. Yet I feel that it is nothing more than a means to an end, and that ends is walking. I will tackle that obstacle when I get there, much as My Dear Sister tackles me whilst attempting to stand.
