Having Independence

I think it is good, and very important, to have your independence because...
-It gives you the freedom to do what uou want to do, and be who you want to be.
-You don't have to depend or rely on anybody else, so you won't get let down by anybody.
-Providing for yourself
-Buying what you want
-Doing what you want
-Going wherever you to go
-Making chocies and decisions without being influenced by somebody else
-Not needing anybody to make you happy
-It makes you a stronger person
-Personal and moral virtue, not a political one
-It is a requirement for leading your own life

Independence is more than just money, you could be completely financially independent, yet socially and intellectually dependent on others.
Those who are socially dependent, means they care more about being liked rather than just being themselves.
Intellectual dependence means you are using the thoughts of others instead of contributing ideas back to the world. Those who are intellectually independent, make their own decision, and are willing to experiment and explore for theirselves, ratehr than blindly accepting facts and opinions from other people.
