“The freedom we are looking for is the freedom to be ourselves, to express ourselves.
But if we look at our lives we will see that most of the time
we do things just to please others …
The worst part is that most of us are not even aware that we are not free.”
– Don Miguel Ruiz

(My Thoughts:)

This pretty much makes sense that we are not free. I mean let’s take a look at how much life really costs. There is no free living and we need to pay to live. In other words, we need to work and get money and to pay for our living. This pretty much means that what freedom is there when we are required to pay for it.

Express 

The only freedom we are left with is who we are. What we show others and how we express ourselves to others. But this is really not freedom but our self-worth. At the end of the day, even our self-worth worth comes with a price as we need to pay for cloth and shoes to be in public to show our expressions. I mean just the living alone comes with a price and this means where exactly is the freedom at.

USA

The more we are involved with life the more we need to pay for it. However, living in the USA I understand one freedom. That is: we can be what we choose to be and how we want to live life. In many countries there are rules such as joining the military at 18 and so on. However, in USA freedom means to me that the government is not on top of us and forcing us to join military.

Even though I say the government is not on us, but they are controlling the way we are living.
