Are We Really Free

Posted on February 29, 2008 - Filed Under Arts and Entertainment

For those who live in Democratic First World Nations, they will often say, I live in a free country and I am free. But are they really? Should we question this, analyze it and study it, or should be just feel lucky and accept everything the way it is?

It is my opinion that we should question freedom in democracies, because if one gives up their life’s purpose or endeavors for that of the whole, and by social contract agrees to this before the vote, they are not free, but following the whole, the mob or the cluster.

Gravity works like that too actually - a black hole becomes so powerful it sucks everything in, prior to that they perceived they were free yet were actually in tow of that which they thought was free also, but in reality never was.

The “Are we really free debate” can take on many shapes and forms, one might even call Earth a prison planet in a way, of course if that was all you know, you would not look beyond the horizon to see what else is, or even dare to take it.

Those who taste a sense of freedom once will always long to be free. People want to be free, people want liberty and people love democracy, yet do they really realize what freedom actually is? Do you? If you are surrounded by laws and confined and constricted in your movement are you really free?

If you live in a free country and yet cannot leave it in any direction because those surrounding you are not free, then are you really free or in a prison with rights and liberty with no where to go? Think on this.
