Awareness. Perspective. Choice.

To understand what it means to me, you must understand how I believe it came to be. How -awareness- continues to cultivate -perspective- which directs the impulses of -choice- leading to independence.

"We braved the cave of a thousand sorrows,

and bought the thought of a million tomorrows."

Without awareness there's no way to even grasp the concept. Without perspective there's no way to define it-- body, mind or soul. Without choice, there is no independence. Whether it's a physical, spiritual or mental restraint, the very act of it negates the possibility of any independence, though they're not mutually exclusive.

While one may be without physical choice, their mind and spirit may hold varying degrees of Independence. Too, if the mind or spirit were neglected their respective choice, one may still have physical independence with which to act on.

Independence is a state of mind as much as it's a physical state of being, and a spiritual resolution-- to me.
