Spontaneity and Involvement
We often say that spontaneity is important, but that doesn't mean it's not good to take actions that are not spontaneous. I think there might be some better choice of words.
I casually used independence and spontaneity above without making a very clear distinction, but perhaps this should be properly distinguished. It is not a "spontaneous" case, because the trigger is generated by others, but it is a "proactive" case, because it is my decision to participate or not. ---
