I had this
realization since long but I felt like documenting it now. There is nothing
known as absolute freedom.
I used to
imagine that I am doing things which I do for more and more freedom. That is a
true thing. We do things to get more and more control over our own lives. It is
a human nature. Freedom is of most importance to us. But we should be able to
tell very clearly why we need a particular kind of freedom and what we are
going to do with the help of that freedom. I am not saying that we need to tell
to everyone every time. We need not share it with anyone but it should be clear
to us at least. Otherwise it becomes a struggle for our own dominance over the other
person(s). While that can be a necessity sometimes, that cannot be our ultimate
aim.
The problem with
that aim is that there is huge possibility that we will create injustice while
trying to dominate other people and then we will be the people from whom other
people need freedom! So once the person who was speaking for freedom will go
against the very basic principle of freedom only because he does not understand
there is nothing known as absolute freedom.
Freedom will always
have limitations. Then what we gain by gaining freedom? We push those limits further
every time. So that new limitations become visible and then we try to push those
limits too. There is a lot of fun in this process hence it is worth doing but
only by keeping this thing in mind that – There is nothing known as absolute
freedom!
