RE: The Opposite of Freedom Is Not Slavery But Security

in #freedom7 years ago

if one conquers their mind (desires, mental patterns/conditioning) then perhaps they are considered free, however this seems rather difficult and an illusory concept; humans are contained by limits of biology. an essential question is why freedom is desired (although seeming obvious), perhaps this desire hinders true freedom? (again subjective)
interesting read

Sort:  

freedom is desired because we are all more or less slaves to a degree. same with happiness. Everyone chases it because the default human position is misery.
