Recently I had a quality conversation with my best friend over freedom, what exactly this word symbolize with reference to humans…freedom is when you stop searching for something? Is it leading a desire free life? So is depression….
Who draws the line between being care free to being self centered?
Again what freedom stands for? When will I say 'I am absolutely free' and mean it….when I am away from eyes always expecting from me? When I know I have complete power over my destiny? When I know no one in this world can hurt me anymore? When I'll walk free without being demanded any explanation?
This lists never terminates…so does my quest what freedom and liberation stands for? Because I know no matter where I hide I won't be able to protect myself from hurts, feelings and temptations…I won't transform into a sage dwelling in a forest and to my dismay no matter how brilliant I turn I won't be able to control everything that happens to my life (not being fatalistic…but we all witness certain interjections by fate) so I'll never feel a sense of absolute freedom….
honestly I felt it the day I took a major decision in my life. Though I was not free from any of these ( screwed up quite honestly) . I sat and accepted myself the way I am, hoping that someday I'll be better
(still hoping!!). Accepting no matter what happens I'll cry on n on and get over it! (how long will sadness haunt you if you accept it?). I am no more afraid of being sad because I know once I fall I'll stand again…
It a whole process, why stop n wonder what's wrong with me? There's nothing wrong…happens with everybody!
And about me ,I am still not free, not in control of my feelings or destiny…yet when I remember that particular memory I know how I gotta deal with my gloomy thoughts…
Guys let me know what freedom stands for you…your definition of it :)

if there is an action (physical or mental) which i wish to experience (will satisfy me by feeding my intentions) but it has some restrictions, i would say i do lack freedom...
ReplyDeleteif anything in my life has power (to affect) on my 'emotions', 'soul' and my own unique 'body', i would say am not free...
I thnk talking about freedom is gonna waste sm gray matter from inside of our heads...i thnk so becouse its a word n obviously made by sm1 n its also relative...like u can ask whre r all da stars. The answer would b in da space but can sm1 think of da place where space is....da word is relative in da sense dat sm bow thnks he is free wen he is allowd to do da night overs at sm frnz bt again he cud nt b allowd to move out of country...like temperature, impossible to have absolute zero kelvin...
