You Can Never Be Free
Many people do not know what to do with their freedom. As such they are prisoners of their own freedom. Freedom, when you are not prepared for it, is a burden and a curse. What good is it for a caged parrot to gain his freedom only to die of starvation and exposure?
Freedom is not doing what you want to do. That is called anarchy; and when we all do what we want to do, it causes chaos. Then freedom is just another word for having nothing left to lose.
We are all prisoners of our possessions. When you possess something, you have to take certain measures to protect that possession; be that material, love, status or anything else. The more precious the possession is to you, the more you are bound to it. You can only be truly free when you have nothing to tie you down to a certain place or routine.
Some would say that freedom is doing the right thing but what is the right thing? What is right for you can never be right for everybody else. Are you really free when you are bound to certain options? Is that really free choice?
If freedom looked like that, I’d rather be comfortably enslaved for only death can bring true freedom. And that is only if there is no afterlife because even then you will not have the choice of where you want to go. You will be bound by your limited choices here on earth.
Have a monster Friday.

It seems that I have lost my case
I'll do best to cut my pace.
I can relate to the possessions part of your blog...I am not as free as I used to be...have to work more to keep those possessions I have now...most of us are tied by a cord of circumstance in one way or another...have a good friday!!
You are not free at all. So many rules and regulations to tie you. No freedom at all.
Now the most precious possession in my name is my bike, and this cruiser brings me freedom in the true sense on weekends etc. If I die while riding my bike I might find the freedom in the afterlife ,,,if my bike is there with me.
I wonder if bikes go to heaven.
It would be a sin if they did not.
Pardon me for butting in but...Luke...I don"t know about heaven but I believe this cruiser can be ridden in the afterlife...
Makes you think a bit; does it not?
Enjoy your day. Mine stands towards the end of it.
And responsibility curtails your freedom of choice.
@
Luke...if we look back over history we often find the greatest evil done in the name of freedom...but in this case I agree with Cat ..that bike is super awesome and certainly hot....mmm perhaps a bit tooo much for me to ride tho
When the soul can learn to leave the body with the option to return again at will, only then we will truly be free.
Take care ya'all

That is the problem. You never know many you have left. There is not a counter in the top left corner of the screen of life.
can lead to severe poverty, no matter how much knowledge and qualifications you have,
if you get too selfish, and dont want to be controlled by anybody, then, it can also lead to your downfall, cause nobody can do everything alone, even if you know it all.
Spoken with the wisdom of a man twice your age.
Now apply it young man.
How would we know if we had not been saved and restored many times before. Perhaps we are just a simulation game that somebody is playing.
Are you going to ride that bike. Should be a hell of an experience.
Freedom for me is to live my life the way I want it - and that does create a dependency on certain things.
It means a job, paying the bills and taxes,
Love can change your direction in life as well, but sometimes, it is worth it.
Exactly my point.
Freedom is just a state of mind.
An illusion we chase but cannot find.
You have me puzzled. Give me a few days to ponder on it.
It is a tough life but then nobody promised an easy ride.
That is tough today. You need money to make money.
was there for 6 years. just got sick as a dog.
didnt feel comfortable there at all.
It doesnt work for me.
when Im there, I can only go for money, but I call it blood money soul destroying, degradation, loneliness, loss of dignity. lots of loss of dignity.
I find your blogs to be well written, entertaining and most importantly you say what's on your mind
Freedom can be many things
Freedom of choice, freedom of expression, freedom of life, freedom of love is freedom
can you guess.
I think you can.
Its called giving it to someobody to look after.
Im actually doing a runner. cause I know science and Ive seen things. and I know something nobody else knows here.
Just wish accommodation wasnt so expensive overseas.
Maybe Ill sleep in a tent in one of those parks nicely disguised or something.
but the rain and the winter there.
Not a joke.
but I think she will be safe and well hidden in her mothers hands.
Im no good here to her if I stay.
