Today let’s talk about Freedom and know about it. This brilliant read helps you to see what you have in a different perspective. Freedom is the opposite of boredom life where we get to spend most of the time as we wish to be. It is about believing, the place you are in and what you are going to do about it. Freedom comes from unity. Sounds different right? Let me explain, in this journey of our life, we come across several situations where we get to decide what we want and sometimes, life decides what we need.
Let’s broaden our view about this, as we speak of life, we stand and look after ourselves more with all the pain in our ass. Still, we love ourselves. If we stand as a team with a group of like-minded people, we get to choose as a team and see what is best for it and yet freedom hops in to decide to take cover. As we keep widening our approach to it, Freedom becomes one and that one is called unity. Furthermore, we stand as a team, community, country, religion and finally as humanity. Freedom comes from our free will. It defines who we are and what we become. It helps us to stand together for a cause that contributes to making this world a better place.

Wikipedia describes freedom as,
Freedom, generally, is having the ability to act or change without constraint. It is discussed in the context of free will and self-determination, balanced by moral responsibility.
Free will to do anything by ourselves is defined as freedom. Having a life that intercepts our routine every day, becomes logical. In many other words, freedom can also be described as financial freedom, working freedom, national freedom and freedom of interaction. When we meet new people in our life, we tend to hesitate before talking to them until they become our friends. It is not about giving freedom to people who you interact, it is about taking it to interact for good. We can say there are 2 types of freedom to be considered. Freedom for Good and Freedom for domination. In certain cases, people misuse both ’em leaving no meaning to it. Stephen King said in his book Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons,
Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.
A human mind is similar to a bird. If we contain it in a cage, it cannot thrive and once it gets out, it lashes the world around it without knowing the sense of it.
A human can have his freedom to live, talk, exist and behave. The same applies to other creatures. We as humans get freedom by doing things on our own will, Other creatures have their way of freedom. Birds can fly, Fish can swim, Cheetah can run and Lions can rule. Every individual existence has a purpose and special attributes. When those special attributes prevail in them, nature gives meaning to its talk of freedom and beauty. When we witness the beauty of creation in us and others, freedom gets the value.
It is not only about being ourselves like we are for. Freedom is about living and letting to live every other creature around us. Believe in what we are up to and from there we can navigate to different destinations. Have you ever wondered about going for a trek alone and reaching to the top of the mountain to listen and witness the sound of nature, birds and the smell of plants? Travel like a bird and enjoy the beauty of nature to know what it likes to experience freedom. Water in the river flowing across roads of the forest and finally falling from the top of the mountain freely. This sounds great to hear and to witness nature creating waterfalls is so calm and helps us to learn about freedom as we witness more and more procedures of phenomena like this. Jim Morrison also talk about freedom and how our fears can vanish from it, he says
“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.”
As a human being with self-awareness, there are degrees of freedom which constitutes our social presence. Whenever an adult is snatched by their freedom, they become more versatile to slavery. Our minds can be shaped by giving freedom as well as snatching it. The absence of freedom or absence of the experience to have a freewill turns the human mind into a slave bucket. This is often seen in Indian parents who like to do child marriages, abominations, and labors. Without having the taste of freedom, the adult mind tends to stay in the slavery of the perception and it always procrastinates. This kind of behavior in adults is uninspiring to our younger generation. Specifically, there will be a revolt among families due to these reasons. Lack of freedom articulates the mind to think small and be narrow. As long as our mind gets the freedom to think or to encourage, it shines us with great ideas and culture. I can say, freedom governs every law of the universe. As long as we have in control of it, it is our greatest companion. Otherwise, it can kill every relation around us.
Every outcome of our success based on how we think and thinking is originated from free-will. Better thinking makes us better humans and better humans work on knowledge, that can be preserved for Oxygen (Survival) to our future generations. If our brain gets more room to think, every knowledge on this planet thrive that helps to win our greatest fear.
