Running with the hounds... (47)
tinyfangs: I agree with that, although often we are even told WHAT makes us feel free, and many will follow the suggestions.
I have tried speed (not the drug, but the fast speed thingy) and it did give me 'kicks', especially on a bike, also on a horse in flat out canter, pressed against the neck of a mighty creature, feeling its powerful moves.. but I must say, running with the hounds seems so far to trumph it all, alas.. horse in full run can come close.

tinyfangs: ahh.. if only I'd understand a word of that, but sozzy - encounters of that sort: services.. favours.. just doesn't connect in my brain into something that makes sense

facetowardsfront: Hold on the two of you. It's me who's doing the service, she's be doing a favour.
mjpd67: but what elates you the most from human existence ?
Feeling protected and sheltered. Someone who manages to make me feel like that, and I enter a state of bliss beyond anything, and then all else falls in place naturally behind it.
mjpd67: getting very perplex on here

My children give me the best kicks. I wouldn't give up the job of guiding them into adulthood for anything. I also like the freedom to stop whatever I'm doing once I no longer feel the need to do it, whatever it may be, from washing the kitchen floor to singing at the top of my voice. To be forced to continue because society says I "should" have a clean kitchen floor or I "should" show my elation at the world by singing would be wrong to me. To "have" to run with wolves or dogs would also be wrong. The joy is in wanting to do it.
LadyBlackAdder: The joy is in wanting to do it.
Again I agree, but one problem we do have in today's world is that people are often manipulated into 'wanting' certain things, believing it is their own want, when in truth it has been implanted in them, like for example consuming far beyond one's actual needs.

Like I said, what worries me is how much of that perspective is truly our own, or how much of it has been manipulated into us...
tinyfangs: Like I said, what worries me is how much of that perspective is truly our own, or how much of it has been manipulated into us...
it is impossible to judge that...especially when looking in and judging someone else's life
what matters is that we feel free

It's true that manipulation is used at every turn in today's world. However, every move we make is still the result of a choice we, ourselves, make. All that is lacking is awareness. Once we have awareness, we are not so easily manipulated anymore.mjpd67: understand what your saying but i cant see your life as you view it yourself nor can i see tinys for that matter we all have our own perspective on life
Exactly. Everyone else's perspective is irrelevant. All that matters is how we, ourselves, see our lives.
