Freedom, word so often used and disused or used in a situations that are not exactly “freedom”. So what is freedom, I mean what is freedom in purest meaning, the ultimate and one and only freedom, the definition that could be “understood” and “accepted” by everyone.
Our past was full of fighting for freedom, I think most of us understand freedom as a physical state and not many people care about the state of mind. We are happy to define freedom as being free to move, travel, by whatever you want, choose your job, but all these thing operate under central system, that we created, that system will never allow us to be free. Still there things you can’t do, things that are not accepted by society and governments, thing people just don’t understand.
Freedom as I see it is certain state of mind, you can’t really learn it, you have to achieve it and most of us never will, because money exist and that will always limit the mind. We have so many choices in the life and anyway most of the people follow the same pattern of life, without questioning if it’s right or not, without being really individual.
“I want to have freedom life” – but what does it mean? It can mean big level of responsibility for the individual life and scarify some part of what is today considered as “normal life”. Being free doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want, it means you do what you need to live, where the first problem comes, as “normal life” is so strong defined and widely accepted, that anything different to that will result in you on the edge of society.
Society rules tell you how to live, you have to be registered, pay taxes, spend money you earn, borrow money, to be valuable member who contributes to the good of the society. But what I don’t give a shit about society. Can I just a pick a location, build a house and live on my own. There are loads of people who done that. But do thing they got the ultimate freedom. Living off the common patterns of life? Producing their own food and everything they need for life? I’m sure there are some that won’t even need money, but for most of us, this doesn’t mean freedom, because you can’t have the comfort of modern technologies.
Some of the native nation, living still in the jungles, no phones, internet, TV …., is that freedom? Probably could be, the only thing they have to do is provide for them and their families, they don’t know money, they don’t have anything that someone else could envy, but it’s a hard work. But all they do in their life is for them clearly. They don’t have to work for companies and be depending on the salary, they don’t get frustrated from the payslip, where they see all the deductions. They don’t know TAX.
I thing 99% of today’s world is so addicted to the society, that there can’t be freedom. People fought for freedom and created system, that slaves them actually. We created the system of governments to rules us, so why did we fought for freedom? Maybe freedom is a myth, something that can’t be achieved, because if we would have the ultimate freedom, there would be chaos and the society would collapse soon the humanity is not mature enough the accept the freedom. It is a myth, because with ultimate freedom, people would have to do what they are good in – there won’t be the possibility of working because you are getting better wages. Money does not have place in freedom, as it changes our priorities, makes us do different choices, do jobs we don’t like, learn things we don’t want to learn – for what? Better life …., better life means ability to spend more for loads of things we actually do not need?
Humanity has a strange understanding of freedom, but we can’t be free, we can’t be left without some to rule us, someone we can blame for our current situation …, that’s why this system still works, that’s why we scarify freedom to have some security feeling, feeling of comfort, inside the society, that instantly drags our attention the other way and work hard to make us “blind”? Society is like a big club, you automatically join when you’re born with permanent membership and if you try to leave, society will label you as strange, reckless, dangerous and does all in her power to get you back to the mass.
The more I thing about it …, there can’t be ultimate freedom, because we destroyed it and we are forgetting about it, take care about our selfish lives.
