I was thinking today the true meaning behind being free. What does being free really mean. Webster says to be free means "not determined by anything beyond its own nature or being : choosing or capable of choosing for itself" it can also be an adjective, a transitive verb, an adverb, and even a verb. The UrbanDictionary however defines free as "How chinese people say three".
What does it truly mean to be free though?
Does it mean that you live your life in a way that you're free from all temptation? Does it mean that you seek to find the greater meaning behind what it truly feels like to "be free"?
As I ponder what being free means to me, I can't help but think it has to be a life with no bars. Physical steal bars, bars & pubs where you meet guys named Micky, or just plain figurative bars that we build around ourselves without even know we're doing it. When we build these figurative bars around us are we doing this to keep other out of our life or are we doing it to keep ourselves out of finding our own true potential?
Is being free simply the right for one to chose his own destiny and the right to making ones own decisions? Do we let others decided our freedom without even knowing it sometimes? I believe that we let society and others decided our freedom sometimes. I feel that to truly be free, one must not say three... but stand up in that exact moment when they should and make the choice that makes one feel most free inside.
Take down your bars... and as the world turns so shall you with it, freely!
