Independence, Security, and Freedom

Happy 4th of July! 

A word about independence and freedom on Independence Day. Specifically, what is the role of independence at a personal level in regards to intimacy (closeness)? Being independent should not exclude the need or desire for others but include feeling supported by others. To be independent at the price of an emotionally nourishing connection that includes support lacks the feeling of being emotionally secure. To have both is the road to caring and freedom.   -   Doug
