It's life, it's free, it's hot and I never wear a shirt.

What is Freedom?

What is Freedom?   Is it your not so admirable ability to buy what ever the fuck you want whenever you want?  Or is it something else? Is it exercising your own free will? I would say the latter of course, but I highly doubt this comes to mind with most folks around here…Take away their ability to buy shit, and you might see a full on civil war.  Pass another rule, make another law…and no one really gives a fuck as long as they can keep on working behind their olive colored cubicle walls and continue to buy meaningless shit.

I was lucky, I have been able to experience true freedom…And it’s a powerful thing.  More powerful than you can imagine and it can be a tell tale sign of an individual when one inspects what they do when they exercise there free will over an extended length of time.  I’m proud to say I owned it.  I lived free and did not abuse it like so many of our nation’s leaders, religious leaders and others around the globe. Rather I did something special with it to provide amazing experiences for people, helping others grow and give to others in need.

Whew!?  Okay…so enough of the that self proclamation of greatness the point here is…what is Freedom?

This is how I see it.  True freedom is an ironic paradox.  Once you free yourself from the world, your family, your friends, your material possessions, your goals and your responsibilities in every decision you make, you are bound to the responsibility of your next decision and the consequences that follow it’s interdependent dance with the world.

Read that  paragraph one more time…

True freedom is being bound to the responsibility of your choices and acceptance of how they affect your life.  However  you must first take the trash out and dump all the subconscious moles in your mind causing you to avenge the lacking moments of your past.

You must clean your dirty laundry and wash away the way of life your particular society and culture has led you to believe is the WAY.  And you must shed public, family and friends expectations from your decision making criteria…it is then that you can begin to realize and actualize full responsibility and accept what will come your way from your own choices…

When you  own your choices and decisions, your become very powerful.  You can live by principles and character as you always answer to yourself and you can hold yourself up to a high standard of your choosing.

It is only when you live life interacting with your fellow man that this paradigm must change…It must include the free will and choice of others that do not live by your same code and principles…being able to continue your life while having the skills and ability to deal with, to interact with and to work with the rest of the world that does not share these same values is yet another level of freedom made possible through emotional maturity.

A level of excellent communication skills.  A level of committed  assurance of others well being and your principle based intentions…and by approaching it with other’s best intentions based from listening to what they need, understanding it, confirming it and doing your best to provide what they need while you get what you need is that new level…

It means so many, “no deals“ but so many great relationships as you dance through this world free to choose…free to be;) as in U R FREE2B U
