“Are we really free?”
“What is the point in living, we’re just gonna die anyway.” The words of my philosophy teacher that hits me like a truck. I also realized that, “Yeah. Why do we need to do things we can’t, to do things that are not ours, and to live if we’re just gonna die anytime, right?” It can be tomorrow, next time, or it might be yesterday but maybe we are just fortunate because of some causes. So, why don’t we just enjoy things we want, do our own things, and build our own world, right?
So, Why are we free but not?
Why are we free but we have a ‘boss’?
Why are we free if there is a law?
Why are we free if there’s a restriction?
Why are we free but why do I need to post this?
Right? Why are free but not? But deep down, we all know we have freedom. Even if we deny it. Look,
We are free to choose different paths but why did you choose that path?
We are free to take action but why did you do that action?
We are free to decide so why is that your decision?
And We are all Free to Make our own Choices to Decide, right?
See, we are all free at all costs. We Choose, We Make, and We Decide on our own. So, why aren't we free but at the same time we are?
The answer is simple, it’s because We choose, We Make, and We Decide on our own, again. We Decide and We Choose to make our actions. It’s us to blame ourselves and we are responsible for it. We are all free but not from consequences. We are free but we are afraid. Afraid of the freedom of our actions and Afraid of what will be the consequences. There’s always a consequence to the actions we are making and made. But by acknowledging our fears and taking full responsibility for our actions, then we can gradually stretch our freedom and live more meaningful lives. It’s all about balance maybe. Sometimes maybe it is best to walk in others' shoes. Maybe it’s all about understanding, questioning, and balancing you to yourself and you to others.
Just like Buddha said “We should live midway and not on extremes” In short, we should live just right and should not be too much or too less. But of course, we’re not gonna do all that, Why? Because we’re just gonna Die Anyway. All is pointless but be prepared for the consequences.
