Freedom is such a controversial subject. All over the world people are fighting or demonstrating for freedom. But what does it actually mean?

For the caged and abused animals of this cruel world, it means a first time run in fields of green. An exhilarating jump out of the vast, free oceans. Free from the cruel experimenting or cheap tricks to keep the human apes informed and entertained.

To the kids working from dark to dark in soul retching factories producing products for an ever increasing human race’s greed — Freedom would be waking to a day of doing exactly as they please.

To the slave of commercialism and governments -freedom is to realize that it is not worth it — Money does not buy happiness. We have an ever-increasing economy with ever growing needs and an even faster-growing suicide and addiction rate.

We were not created for this; we were not placed on this earth for the constant race to nowhere day after day. We were created to rise with the sun and go to sleep with the moon. To eat what Mother Earth and your own hands have provided. It was given and will always be given if we only worked with her and stopped destroying her.

The ocean is empty, the earth is dying.

We need a new freedom. A freedom from governance, a freedom from commercialism, a freedom from greed and want, a freedom from being ‘human.’ We need a freedom of soul; we need to be free beings, free to be what our souls want to be.

Our souls want to be FREE.
 
I have often thought that if one can still imagine , then one can still be free....As long as the you have the willingness to follow your imaginings.

. . .
Our souls want to be FREE.

Ever the skeptic, I think that only some of our souls on this planet want to be free, and then only parts of the souls of many of the rest of us.
I very much like the ways you have enumerated that freedom can be a liberating force in both hope and action.
But, sadly, I think that freedom also allows the freedom for us to make selfish choices against freedom, for both ourselves and against others.
And that all of us still have this negative propensity in some greater or lesser degree. It is part of being human.
The only hope I see is that, gradually, humanity at large will recognize the virtues you have eloquently pointed out and slowly drift in those directions.
Until then, more power to you and like-minded people.
Sincerely,
Peder
