41. Freedom and the Phone Box

05/08/18

From what? From the phone box we live in. However…

Freedom is not free. It depends on something. Freedom is the slave of circumstances and cultures.

However, because of its changeable and unfathomable essence, freedom is as free as life, truth and love are.

Its definition can only be a transitory exercise determined by the circumstances of the definer and the space and time where and when the definer cares to take the trouble to define it.

The mere act of defining it, is an incarceration within the boundaries of the language in use and all the real and perceived limitations attached to it.

We are determined by genes, our parents choices, the place we live in, our culture. Perhaps, we can catch freedom’s rainbow’s tail by attempting to break free from our hang ups, fears and, particularly our perceived limitations.

In our endeavours, we might as well do our best to break free from constricting social structures, unjust governments and the safe but narrow phone box we choose to live in when we believe we have no choice.
