Independence

Independence:

I feel we still have a long way to understand independence and not to misuse independence:

Independence comes with responsibility.

Independence comes with self-discipline and preference for delayed gratification, not instant gratification.

Independent decision making is a far sighted decision that does not have adverse consequences.

Independence is not being rash, not having any sense of limit,not having any sense of control. Independence comes with a beautiful holistic regulation in your life .

Independence of mouth is not to say rubbish meaningless things to people without a second thought. Independence of mouth and proper mouth control measures go hand in hand. Independence of mouth comes with an open mind that does not make quick judgements but listens,thinks and speaks so that it makes common sense .

Independence is to look beyond stereotypes and thoughtless impositions.

Independence has a lot to do with self-respect and respecting others- the similarities as well as the differences.

Independence comes with constant efforts to regulate and maintain balance in one’s life.

Independence means overcoming dependence on others and becoming more self capable.

Independence involves minding one’s own business instead of being judgemental,gossiping and poking your nose mindlessly into the lives of others.

Independence does not mean getting screwed up day by day and also make others screwed up, and get enraged if some person resists. Instead one should try the difficult way to stop getting screwed up, practice some mindfulness instead of boasting to be a mindless hero or heroine.

Independence does not mean sticking to orthodoxy and get enraged by positive changes and get enraged at people who think differently to bring in progressive changes, or pull others down. Independence means making the mind open to updation and self-upgradation.

Independence involves giving safe space to others so that others can be themselves and not live in an abnormal environment created by manipulation and exploitation.

Independence means not accepting everything to maintain external harmony and generate terrible amount of internal disharmony. Independence means fighting to maintain internal harmony, fighting for your self care, your well being, your rights, your boundaries.

Society is not yet well designed to allow proper independence and respect the independence of others. Slavery in the form of exploitation in family ,society and workplace, addiction, others thoughtless impositions and stereotypical generalized notions are widespread.

On Independence day instead of celebrating so much, we can think how we can improve education and our mental state,mindset to promote proper independence.
