Life without bondage

Freedom is not given... you must fight for it. There will always be plenty of people who will try to keep it from you. They cannot be allowed to succeed.

When we enter this world, there are those who will try to control us. As children, we need these constraints. But adults can make their own decisions.

With the ability to choose, comes responsibility for our choices. It is immature to expect others to suffer for what we do. No matter what, we must own it.

If a mistake is made, it is not the end of the world. Rather, it is an opportunity to turn things around. By doing better, we can eventually become better.

Dependence means willingly putting on the chains. And there will be no plans of ever removing them. But every day they will take you for a walk.

To be free from outside control, we must discipline ourselves. Or else the chaos within will take over and hold us fast. Living in bondage is no life at all.

  1. Well, I get what you're saying. However, if we all worked together, we would all be better off. If a person simply does not want to come on board with those who are trying to make the world a better place, we'll just have to coddle them as long as they don't begin hindering our efforts.

    1. Everyone has a part to play in how things turn out. Groups are antagonistic to anyone who is not a member. Better to just get things done.

  2. Many live their lives in bondage never realizing they have the keys to the chains from the start. Freedom requires we deny ourselves, want for nothing of the world and become a person of our own making.

    1. The world delights in putting the chains on. But so many people see that as a sense of purpose. To be free, you must eschew such things.
