RE: What does it really mean to be free?
I think this is an immensely powerful piece of writing, which I agree with very much of.
But I disagree with you on what freedom is. For me, it is not something that has to be battled. inequity, sure, but freedom? For me that is simply a mindset. Lock me in a prison and you still cannot take my freedom. As long as I have an imagination and a mouth to say "fuck you, I won't do that," then I am free.
But that's of course a very subjective interpretation. One that I don't expect many people to agree with.
Again though; an excellent post, and I would resteem it if the option was available to me. But this platform is all about money, so one cannot resteem a post from a month ago that leaves no opportunity for someone to make a profit from.
I have that same definition of freedom. And I believe that freedom must be conquered by the same thing that you say, it is "simply a mindset", we should not conquer it to anyone but ourselves, and that is usually the most difficult thing.
That is true, and that is exactly what I say, but if you are the one you put in a prison, then no one can get you out of there, and you will have lost your freedom for yourself.
It's funny how you comment on this publication made a month ago, the exact day I was going to publish another similar one talking about freedom. I could not publish it yesterday for personal reasons, and I'm publishing it right now. If you want you can take a look, and tell me what you think, comments are always appreciated.
This is the post.
Thank you very much for the compliments. Greetings.
I actually thought that was what you were saying up until the last few paragraphs when I started to interpret it another way. I was incredibly tired when I read it though so this could be why.
Also, it wasn't an accident that I landed on here. You linked me this on one of my recent posts.
I did it? I must look like a spammer then redirecting from one post to another. It is not my intention.
That thought did cross my mind this time around actually. Lol. But, I wonder why it didn't the first time. You must be very subtle about it..
Anyway, I did a post a few hours ago about accepting spam on my posts now; if it is worthy. So this doesn't seem to be much different. But I've a lot to do, so much like last time, it may take a few days to get around to reading it.
