FREEDOM: Because of my extensive travels, I am often asked what freedom means.
- To some it’s fighting for rights or to avoid loss of rights.
- To others it’s loss of a dear one fighting combined with loss of security
- To some it’s Stalin having the freedom to do anything he wants
- To others it’s Stalin with little freedom because he had to build big systems to protect himself and his beliefs.
- To some it Bill Gates, and to others Jesus Christ
- To some it’s a few moments before the kids come home.
To me Freedom is a state of mind in which you have enough time to live in the moment with no responsibility for anyone or anything. It’s a selfish concept. It’s traveling outside the herd. Freedom felt passionate, trusting and healthy. I had minimal aches and pains and tension while free to travel. With freedom, qualities I liked about myself blossomed. I wouldn’t like a steady diet of freedom because I would miss other parts of life, like a good family and interesting job. I needed freedom to complete a childhood vision to balance my life. It provided me with the time and new personality to change habits.
I came to realize that freedom is a complex concept.
