It's amazing that something only an atom thick can be an impenetrable barrier. You can have gas on one side and vacuum or liquid on the other and with a wall only one atom thick nothing would go through it.
It is easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be independent when you haven't got a thing, that's the Lord's test.
