If you are being governed than you are not truly independent. In my belief to be truly independent you must be able to do what you want when you want and have nobody tell you what you can or can not do. The only true way to have independence is to make your own decisions instead of basing your decision on what society thinks. How can a person be truly independent if they have to do what other people think is the right thing to do? The answer to that question is that they can not be independent.
Disinterested rational Will is a matter of having no personal attachments or motives. It is important to Stoics, because to them wisdom consists in thinking of things that happen to you as you would any other even in the World as a necessary part of the world. Chapter 8: 1.

Also it adapts to the assets of the world. In Ventesh's case, he was an outsider in his environment. His job was not to judge or be a police man in any way. We make our own choices and we need to stay mature at all
If God were to exist, then there would then be a purpose and a meaning to life. If God does not exist, then there is no purpose, and thus no meaning in life. Regardless of whether our lives do have meaning or not, media today stresses ideas and steps to take to make our lives more meaningful. So we continue to seek out what is meaningful, and how to make our lives more meaningful on a regular basis, and thus the question seems to be forever relevant even though it has been dismissed by modern philosophy. Once Wolf concedes that there is a meaning to life, she begins to analyze what it means to have a meaningful life.
The ultimate meanings of our lives are chosen by our experiences. The end of our lives “cannot be foreseen and will not be limited by such things as destiny” ("Steinbeck's Nonteleological Perspective"). These are common philosophies of non-teleological thinkers such as Edward Ricketts and John Steinbeck. Steinbeck, the famous literary author of The Grapes of Wrath, incorporates this way of thinking into his many works though his characters: their surroundings shaping them and giving purpose to their lives. The Grapes of Wrath is an example of his non-teleological beliefs being incorporated into the nature of his characters; their fate not being pre-determined, but rather dependent on life events.

As humans, we possess free agency; we can determine our future to great degrees with one simple decision, we may deceive ourselves into believing the past has no impact on us; however, the choices we make and past events we have witnessed have very profound and long-lasting impacts on any decision we have made, are making now, or ever will make. Heritage is an unconscious accumulation of heredity, judgments, and environmental factors that have individually affected us all, and continues to affect us. Because our heritage is such an essential part of life, because we cannot make a decision outside of its context, and because no one can disassociate it from themselves, it is imperative for us to know about, understand, and embrace our heritage. Being aware of our heritage assists in appreciating what we have and to see our shortcomings so they can be addressed in the future. Acknowledging one's heritage is a prerequisite fund of knowledge that is needed in order to take actions to sustain our way of life.
I feel that I am more than capable of shouldering my responsibilities, as well as the consequences along with it. I don’t consider myself as a risk-taker because I never really had the courage to take the step in doing something that I am not certain of. I never had the urge to explore and approach unfamiliar situations and uncertainties. If you look through it, not being a risktaker isn’t really that bad because it makes me make sure and double-check everything that I am doing. I do it carefully and seek answers and information first before doing anything, which also makes me inquisitive.
