Break it down, homie! Then build it up again! "In" = not. De= pertain to. "Pend"= hang upon. "Ent" = quality arising from. Independent is the quality arising from not hanging uopn someone else's care. Or something like that. Try the wikidictionary unless you're just looking for the opinions of Yahoo people.

In todays world people are dependant on others for everything, even for happiness, fun, joy, love, which is fine. But we do not realise that the source of all these emotions or negative emotions is within us. We do not have to depend upon other people, places or situations to be happy or fun, it does not matter what or how the others are. This can be achieved once we r In+dependant. Not depending on anything outside.
