RE: "Bearing in mind the health and state of our western culture and society today, do you think we have too much freedom?"EcoTrain Question Of The Week
great points sharoon!
A huge reason behind that is that the government and the affluent people who own the places in the world play everything by their rules and are ruling our lives one way or the other.
this hits it home so hard. this illusion of freedom when it reality when you look at it from above (and from behind the scenes) they're literally pulling strings to sway public opinion.
if we had more freedom, i'm not sure if we'd erupt into chaos. if we caught on to our freedom more gradually (like it seems we naturally are) maybe we'd be able to find ways to balance and work with the freedom instead of letting it run amok. hopefully with more freedom we would also balance it with respect and the ability to put ourselves in the others' shoes- that's probably highly idealistic haha, but i think if we did that there would be less chaos and we could live and let live. good to see you here!! xoxo
I love having these type of discussions. I don't know somehow I feel that if we had true freedom, we would all go by our own definitions of things. Yes, those definitions would match in areas where we would be in agreement with one another but they would also conflict. But yes, you too have a point that if we were completely free in making our decisions and did so o the basis of love and respect, there won't be chaos. <3
