Really,Now?!
I recently attended the annual Birthday B.B.Q for my fabulous girlfriend, where the composition of trendy hipster and posh artsy individuals make for wonderful conversations. I decided that with the ratio of men and women being pretty similar, however age ranges between the two sexes differing slightly (older gents, younger women), I would be introduced to a vast array of ideals to feast upon. The topic of conversation was "Relationships", and having chosen such a broad topic with all intentions, I sat back and was driven deep into the psyche of the party goers. Coincidentally enough, the destination majority of these voyages, though different in sex and social standing, made the common stop at a little place called "Independence".
Which leaves me with the question: Can Independence in a Relationship truly exist?
Furnished by Wikipedia we review the word: INDEPENDENCE:
the self-government of a nation,country,or state by its residents and population,or some portion thereof, generally exercising sovereignty.
The term Independence is used in contrast of subjugation,which refers to a region as a territory-subject to the political and military control of an external government. The word is sometimes used in a weaker sense to contrast with hegemony, the direct control of one nation by another,more powerful nation.
Independence can be the initial status of an emerging nation(often filling a political void), but is often an emancipation from some dominating power. It can be argued that Independence is a negative definition: the state of not being controlled by another power though colonialism, expansionism or imperialism. Independence may be obtained by decolonization, or by separation or dissolution.
Does this definition describe what the term Independent means to you?
