Freedom....something that a lot of people have sought for, fought for and died for. Is it all worth it? Is it all worth the sweat, tears and blood? Is it worth sacrificing all that you have?Can one really achieve real, true and absolute freedom?
If absolute power corrupts absolutely, what does absolute freedom result into?Utter chaos? Probably...I remember what happened in Bruce Almighty when Bruce (played by Jim Carey) who took on the role of God granted every people's wish and request...it was chaos.
If we are given absolute freedom, no rules, no restrictions, no nothing....then we would probably end up killing each other, cause nothing can stop us anyway.
What hinders us from having absolute freedom?First our basic humanity...we respect other people and we an innate sense of looking for something, some being or explanation higher than us. Our God (I'm not saying He is made to make people behave)is a higher being that we all look up to and believe in. He gave us the freedom to chose. Freedom to please him or not...Freedom to love him.
Love...we chose who we love but in turn we lose our freedom...in our desire to please we chose to do things the person we love expects of us.
Communal living...in our desire to be accepted by our community we follow what is the norm and what is the "common" or the "usual".
Can we ever truly have freedom?
