Special gratitude to the management crew of this beautiful community for their consistency in ensuring smooth run of this prompt. It's been amazing and good journey moving from one level to another. The subject of discussion today is quite amazing and something that we all experience everyday. When we talk about free will we equally consider what is called freedom. In this post, I would like to share what freedom means to me and possibly share some life experience.
The desire of every human being is to be free and allowed to do what pleases Him without any restriction or rule binding on him. The concept of free will exist even amongst the children and adults as well. Any freedom without control or a kind of guide as a rule may end up to a terrible situation.
Are we really free?
Oh yes we are free and I believe the constitution of my country gives every citizen tye right and privileged to exercise one level of freedom to another. We are free but not really free. I have two wonderful kids and what they do is quite amazing. I have given them allowance to do certain things however such things must be curtailed to avoid excesses. When freedom is taken for granted it could result to a unfriendly environment where relationship might be altered. In order to grant balance to the children i had to give them certain guidelines and rules which would make them to be better.
The concept of freedom.
This word has been has no longer great effect again in the lives of the people. This concept has been abused by mant either directly or indirectly. In an attempt to work our way to freedom, its expedient to note that our cultural heritage and norms can't be taken for granted. There was this only lady from her father's loins that felt inferiority complex and restriction embargo given by her parents as an act that they don't love her at all. A lot of thoughts kept resonating in her mind. What's outside that my dad doesn't want me to gi and see? What's so special about outside? Aren't me a beautiful damsel worthy to behold? Aren't me ripe to venture into relationship with guys? Why would my father give me such sets of regulation? Can't i have freedom? Remember she was a virgin.
picture mine
One faithful day, she decided to go out to see what's outside and to also verify the reason why her father locked her up here in the house. She stepped out one evening to see what's happening... suddenly some rough guy took advantage of her and suddenly raped her. This was the beginning of complications in her life. Things started going in disarray.
Living in society run by sets of rules and regulations doesn't mean ome is not actually free. In my country presently the rate of insecurity is alarming and lots of atrocity is raving our community. In order to restore the initial harmony, peace and tranquility rules and community police was set to combat this security in order to restore what was lost long ago.
Conclusion
Living un a society run by strict rules and threat of all kinds doesn't mean that one is not free but its because of some circumstances that necessitates that.
Your freedom shouldn't affect another person.
Thanks for reading through my entry for this edition.
You are very correct. Freedom has been abused and people just do as they want because we are free. Yes we are free, but we need to know that others are involved also.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for visiting mama
Setting rules is one way to help the children know their right from their left because a time will come that they are expected to be know the correct thing to do.
The lady that left her father's house saw what she did to herself which she I believe she regretted at the end. Freedom is not a call for foolishness but a check on our attitude
Thanks for your input.
The truth is that freedom comes at a cost and I believe the example you gave about your kids is one of the best example, freedom without guiding rule will only lead to chaos and for the lady who got raped, I wouldn't put all the blame on her because if her parent had given her a little freedom with guiding light, I don't think things will turn out like that.
Parent that are over strict and restrict the freedom of their children always end up ruining that child life.
You really balanced it. Thanks for this wonderful input.
If we can abide by rules and regulations them we have no problem, we should relate this story to ourselves, the father already knows what can happen to the child that is why he is protecting her but the moment the daughter decide to disobey the father then she got herself in danger, we are free if we can follow instructions.
Insightful input. I really appreciate. Thanks for visiting
Thanks
