Free But From Whom and The Danger of Freedom

Free But From Whom ?

We are all celebrating this special day of July 4, which we won our independence and freedom.

 Special days like birthdays and anniversaries,don't need a lot of thinking to appreciate what is special about them since they are part of our daily lives, but special days and holidays that we celebrate to something that happened a long time ago, then the holiday can only have a real meaning and appreciation if you give thought to what the day represents.

It pays to give a few minutes of thought on the meaning of the day or find some concept or lesson that can be applied to our daily lives.

I would like to expand on the concept of freedom on a different angle and that is, the Danger of Freedom. 

Yes the Danger of Freedom, as time goes by from when freedom has been won, and from what we had been freed from becomes more like a distant fuzz to a lot of us, and an uninterested fact to most of us. 

Since most people live in their own bubble trying to survive and cover their bills and expenses and leave some time to enjoy life to as well. That leaves the word freedom to each and everyone’s imagination and the line is a fine one.

Let me explain, everyone has a different interpretation of the word Freedom.

 A child for example, when hearing the word freedom will visualize it meaning freedom from all the rules his parent or teacher has required. 

 Teens will visualize freedom as acting and behaving as they feel not a care in the world.

A criminal in jail will visualize freedom as an actual definition, freedom of jail time, free of laws, free to steal and do as they please etc.

Now we all understand, that these interpretations of the word freedom are true but dangerous, 

since a child to grow to respectable and caring adult has to be brought up with certain rules to teach him discipline and good behaviors.

 A country that is run without laws and punishments after a short time will look like a war zone

In this time and age when a person accepts upon themselves to fight for a cause of freedom, 

a lot of thought has to be put in to determine if this is really about bringing freedom that will lead to success and to better humanity, 

or is it more like a child that wants their way, to satisfy their cravings but in the end will bring about ruin and destruction.

Breath in breath out, fill your lungs with fresh air that's free to all equally.

 I would like to share with you all as well, a beautiful Blog post from Barrie Davenport  from Live Bold and Bloom about Freedom and Independence Day. 

“When freedom is hindered, our natural instinct is to reclaim it. Without freedom we become angry, bitter, and depressed.

But here’s a strange irony.

Many of us who enjoy the larger freedoms in life have unwittingly enslaved ourselves in other ways. We’ve allowed ourselves to accept insidious forms of restraint and self-entrapment that create the same internal angst that arises with any loss of freedom.

Often we aren’t even aware of how we are giving up our freedom and thus causing ourselves unnecessary pain. Take a look at these 25 personal freedoms to see where you might be restraining yourself from living authentically.
