We live in a free society, so it's kind of funny to even talk about freedom. We have it, while many others just don't.
We, as citizens of a free society, are often not free.
There are many people I meet who are unhappy but do nothing in their apathy. They moan and complain and grit their teeth because they aren't free. They dont get that they already have freedom of choice. They could end the realtionship or get counseling. But the do nothing, nada, and they become slaves to themselves but they dont understand that. Freedom is such a short distance away.
I know people who hate their jobs, but will not make changes because they fear change or just don't think that they can do better. They do have a choice and can change their work and career if they choose to. But they make the wrong choice. Sad but true.
I know people who tolerate cruelty and mistreatment by family and so-called friends. They tolerate it for years, because they don't think that they have the right to demand respectful treatment. They put up with the negative behavior.
I know people just stuck in a giant circular rut because of the past and the present and the maybe the future. They blindly accept it and they dont know how to end it.
I want you to please realize and think about that we have the right to choose freedom, but we must decide. We have been given a great gift and it is up to us to take advantge of that gift. Now , today right away.
We can all completely reinvent ourselves in our mind, body, in our wallet and in our spirit. A banker can be a biker if they want to. A bouncer can be a banker if they wnat to So then a ballet dancer can be a bouncer if they want to. A bouncer can be a bowler if they want to. If you think about it, freedom is the centerpeice of our true happiness or can be. We really can choose and exert our right and do what we really want. So freedom and the ability to choose is beautiful. - 30535
