Freedom, what restraints do we place on ourselves that rob us of our freedom?
Other than those who are physically oppressed, the majority of us are incarcerated by our own mind. I have read of instances of people who were in the most horrendous situations still feeling free thanks to their religious belief, thoughts etc...
What manner of thought leads to inner freedom?
Are we ever truly free, are we ever truly not free?
What holds us back from feeling free/
The freest I have ever felt was when my life had structure, purpose and a stable base. Yet the general image of freedom is the lack of attachment to material or physical things.
Freedom is love.
Freedom is a feeling of emancipation from those things that hold us back from being who we really are.
What if we do not know who we are, what if we have not reached self enlightenment. Does this mean we will be unable to feel freedom?
Freedom is different for everyone i suppose.
What about those who seek even the simplest freedom.
Life cannot merely be what we see. It must be what we feel. Why are we here?
Is there really a purpose for us or do we create purpose to keep ourselves from wallowing in our own shit filled prisons of our minds.
Why are some acts so liberating while others produce no particular emotion and each of these libeerating acts is different for everyone and yet there are so many similarities between all humans that it just takes away the whole theory of individuality. In general we have the same reaction to most situations.
Why cant these answers be readily available?
What is the reason for even existing?
Needs.
wants.
Needs.
Wants.
Is it our wants that imprison us. Is it our wants that prevent us from truly being free?
Why is there such a divide between those who believe they are smart and those who are actually smart. The doers and the dreamers. By the dreamers I mean those who although they may have enough horse power in their brain to achieve never act upon their dreams.
The other category are those who believe they are smart but really are not which is proven by their lot in life. Is it possible that these people are smart and are being held back by a disability or are they just not smart.
Those who are actually smart then deny they are smart but it is clear that they are because they excel in society.
How is it some people can trudge aalong in life feeling content to live their lives in ignorance, myself included.
Why are there so many different classes of people.
Why does this divide get larger, smaller as generation after generation transforms these levels of society?
How is it that there are the poor, who continue to be poor and the rich who continue to be rich and how is it there are the exceptions. What is the spark in these exceptions which ignites their fire to leap from the lot that they have been given?
Nature or nurture?
What compels us to do anything that we do?
What are our motivators?
Do scripts play a part in keeping the socioeconomic divide constant?
How do we penetrate the barriers between each society?
Is it reading that opens up a person to a new possibility, a new reality?
Is it interactions with other individuals, either from their own rung or those higher or lower which inference where they will eventually sit in society?
what are the factors?
Who are the people who have studied this and what have they concluded?
What is their answer for breaking the cycle of poor thinking in an otherwise abundant country which offers every individual regardless of socioeconomic background a chance to excel or at least to move up from the lot he has been given?
What can I do personally to help this change?
Should I first better myself?
Why is my thinking so stifled by how i have grown up?
Is my lack of a larger network of friends holding me back from becoming more, no the only thing holding me back is myself, the way i think so therefore if I can create a change in thinking in children who are brought up on the lower rung, can we then create a more prosperous society?
