4th July

Today is independence day in the U.S.

What does independence mean... not on a country, governmental scale.. but a personal scale... to the individual.

On the one hand I suppose it means the freedom to choose, taking control of your own life and being responsible for making decisions. The dictionary definition is 'freedom from control or influence of another or others '.

I guess what it really means is that you start having to be fully accountable for your actions, your behaviour. You are responsible for yourself, and for the things you do. There is no point laying blame upon someone else, because ultimately you are your own judge and jury.

Therefore, I apologise. I am very sorry.

is anyone independent? I think that everyone is interdependent and that is the way it should be. No man is an island

I think you are probably right.

I certainly hope so, because otherwise the world is a lonely place. Despite the 7 billion people living on it, or whatever it is.
