Independence

Independence - freedom from dependence on or control by another person, organization, or state. When your alone, your entire mind changes and you are actually free to think on your own. Even if you are with somebody you fell obligated to make them feel welcome, happy, and relaxed. Even if your just having a simple conversation your mind frame changes your true independent personality to the partialness of the other person. It happens subconsciously, I know that it happens because I've seen people act totally different in front of people they like. I think that its pretty sad. You should evolve past that stage and be yourself 24/7.

When your alone, your thoughts roam free, you can think about anything or anyone you want in anyway. And nobody can criticize you or anything! Your thoughts are your own and nobody elses. It is where you get to unleash your true mainframe and accept your identity. It maybe a bit difficult to understand at first, but when your alone all by yourself and think or ponder or write or do whatever and be yourself. Without letting everything else in the world bombard you.

"The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world." - Buddhist saying This is why people who wander and are free of dependency are intelligent. Do you think Albert Einstein, or Gandhi, or Jesus or even Buddha depended on others? they certainly had followers and people they themselves admired but they did not depend on others! They all became famous after their passing! They had so much time to their thougths and made something of themselves, because intelligence isn't from lessons or books, it's what your own mind thinks of the world and what your conscience and opinions plan to do about it!

In conclusion I'd like to put this into more understandable terms. When your alone, your have the moment to yourself and you don't have to worry about anything other than yourself. Your thoughts are independent and they can lead you to anything and everything. This is most available when your at a peaceful place or in a peaceful state of mind, such as, lying in bed drifting off to sleep, walking alone, reading, or my favourite, having a shower. Your Independence is everything, I can't ask anything of anyone, just don't lose your individuality to anything or anyone.
