If you're a burden, so is everyone else that was ever or will ever be
 born.  Every depends on others for some things.  Don't think I don't
 know how you feel.  I've been confined to a wheelchair since birth. 
 I've been without batteries in my chair for the past week, so I've
 been completely dependant.  But, if I thought of myself as a burden,
 I probably wouldn't be around much longer.
