Quotes about Independence
Friday, May 24
Independence refers to the state of a country, nation or state in which some of its population exercises self-government or sovereignty. Independence refers to freedom. Freedom of speech and expression, freedom of movement, freedom to do whatever you wish, all can be termed as independence. Nations which are ruled by some other nation are slaves and have to bear the domination and subjugation of the nation which rules them. In the words of James H. Douglas, “A good job is more than just a pay check. A good job fosters independence and discipline, and contributes to the health of the community. A good job is a means to provide for the health and welfare of your family, to own a home, and save for retirement.” Independence and freedom should not be taken advantage of or even misused. Deborah Tannen had once remarked, “Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. To survive in the world, we have to act in concert with others, but to survive as ourselves, rather than simply as cogs in a wheel, we have to act alone.”
