Independence Value Spark

On the evening of the Fourth of July in the United States, you may spot colorful bolts of fireworks splitting the sky. Perhaps your fork is wedged in a slice of apple pie, or watermelon juice is dripping from your fingers as orchestras sound the national anthem.

The fireworks above you signify joy, abundance, and unbridled freedom: a burst of light in the darkness commemorated year after year.

Independence cannot exist in a vacuum: its existence depends on a starting point - a flame to the firework’s fuse - and a set of conditions from which the subject gains freedom. In commemorating independence, we must ask both:

What are we seeking independence from?

as well as

What are we seeking freedom to do?
