The 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is a perfect opportunity to consider the meaning of the word “Independence.” No matter our age or ability, there's no liberty or pursuit of happiness without it. Yet, nobody achieves independence independently, in a vacuum. And the term has different meanings at different stages of our lives.
