No matter whether individual, common or national\u2013independence is a value. It is a desirable recognition, a sign of capability, coping, survival and strength\u2013a matter of honour. It is an achievement whose sovereignty is admired and whose sanctity is defended. Becoming independent requires bilateral detachment, transfer of both po\u00adwer and responsibility, redefining of borders and relations between neighbours, parents with their children, individuals with their surrounding communities as well as oneself with one\u2019s abilities.<\/p>\n

Where these borders are drawn does not depend on us alone. As nations and as individuals we are dependent on each other and the changing values and demands of society as well as on global develop\u00adments. Economic, social and emotional dependencies on the affability and support of others, acceptance from our families, friends and the community forces us to adjust ourselves to limited independence and limit our decision making. This insight is also why we should not ignore but rather respect and support the independence and attempts of it, of others. The status of independence and the freedom that it brings is not a persistently commensurable state for any of us.<\/p>\n
