The default human brain certainly thinks as you do, otherwise, people would exhibit the same or greater work ethic when it comes to their own stuff. However, I genuinely wonder if this is true.

The saying "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" seems reasonable at first glance, but it could also be something someone tells you to prevent you from seeking a better place beyond his influence.

On your own, there's thousands of directions and ways where trouble can come that at least have a small chance of really happening.

Joining a larger entity insulates you from most of these directions and ways of trouble, well until the higher levels.
