Freedom

Freedom of movement, freedom of thought, freedom to do whatever you want whenever you feel like.

But freedom with responsability, being aware that all actions have reactions.

A lot of people misunderstand freedom with lack of responsability. Everyone is responsible of his own actions and should act according to his believes and circumstances around him in a certain place and time.

I am experimenting a moment of freedom lately, or at least, that’s what i want to think. I can do whatever I want as long as I am responsible and assume the possible consequences to my actions. And thinking about it, i’ve been doing pretty much whatever I felt like (more or less) all my life, since I can remember. I am a privileged. I know.

Freedom comes on top of the best things to have in this life together with health and fulfillment. Money can buy you some freedom, but at the same time, it chains you down. It’s a tricky situation. One has to find a balance between how much money one needs to feel free without feeling chained.

I guess noone is entirely free. If “you have it all”, whatever you own owns you back, and so you are chained to your possesions. The less you have, the more free you are. On the other side, a person who has nothing at all, one who lives in misery is not free either. He has basic  needs he cannot cover  in his daylife and is really submitted to keeping himself alive, rather than really doing what he wants.

After rereading myself I have an Idea of what freedom means for me: Not depending on external facts and being totally independent. Of course this is not possible since we are living in a society and there are bondings we cannot get rid of if we accept to live in it. Nothing is for free and one has to give to receive, but how much are you ready to give? How much do you want to get? Is there a limit?

100% pure freedom is utopic, and getting close to it is never an easy task. One has to always keep a balance between what one desire and the reality one is living in.
