A lot of people are squawking lately about independence. The ones in Washington appear awfully young (mentally) to be very independent. They're more like those "rebellious" youths in so many stories.
What is the connection between youth and independence? Is there such a thing as mature independence? It seems to me there ought to be.

I think it has something to do with wanting something you don't have, or it could be you don't appreciate what you have and always want more. So I guess the idea of independence is more interesting for youths? :/

So I guess the idea of independence is more interesting for youths? :/ As much as many young people want independence, perhaps because it's what they don't have, many of them are not prepared for independence. Older people might usually be more conformist, but many WWII baby boomers are conforming in a way overly dependent on government. It's something many of them haven't yet noticed. They haven't seen the problems with that yet. |

You are assuming that if you jump off of said cliff that there will be an ocean below.🦈

They haven't seen the problems with that yet. I think in at least some of those cases it isn't a desire to conform. It's apathy. They just want to live out the rest of their lives with as little trouble as possible. |

One thing about conformity that some people like (including myself) is that you don't have to bother with fashion. You just follow the simple rule. I'm terrible at picking out my clothes and just pick what the "uniform" is for my age/sex/station. Conformity contributes to the flow of society by helping out people like me. |
