Freedom to be free..
I love being a singleton, an independent singleton. Some people I meet are so afraid of being ridiculed as being a singleton freak. They say,”Love makes the world go round!” and they become so obsess that it becomes a now-or-never thing. Scary!
Sarah says," The greatest thing that can ever happen is to love and to be loved in return!" You think so? Happiness can be derived from other sources, no necessary from being hitched.
Anyway, I enjoy being free. Having freedom and not being bound by things is wonderful. See, if you are hitched, you can get happiness but that also comes with a price that is, misery when you can ditched.
Freedom. To be free. Those who seek it, don't have it. Those who want it, can't get it. The harder you try, the further it gets. Seems like this and a whole lot of other things worth having in life are like that, such happiness, and contentment. Have we been looking in the right place? Haha..
Most people seek to be free from things that bind them such as relationships. What makes them free is to rid of the shackles on their ankles that bind them to an iron ball of burden. And to that end they run with all their might. But where to exactly? Perhaps to another place where they get bound again, but more gladly perhaps? I don't believe in freedom from. It seems to me to be a running away from something, and a lack of ability to handle. No, I'd much rather have freedom in spite of. That requires a freedom that is totally owned by oneself, not dependant on the things that are happening outside, and can then never be lost. That’s the exact freedom that everyone longs for.
But by comparing yourself with a person in jail, who can only roam his cell, we are much freer, that's physical freedom.
Not that I am an expert or anything, we all have physical freedom but sadly most people do not get the mental freedom they long for.
