We all want to be free, no one wants to live in boundations. We want to fly like a free bird in the sky, we do not like when someone gives us instructions. Then what is stopping us? Have you ever thought that its only our own fears which do not let us break free?
Sounds shocking right? Who would want to stay caged? Well its our own fears. Life is so comfortable, when we follow others. let’s take the real life example of criminals who have been put behind the bars by law. They have a very comfortable life inside, they do not have to worry about food and shelter, however, once they are free from jail, they have to worry about what they would eat and where would they live. Similarly is the society, when we follow its rules and regulations, we are caged behind the comforts provided by the society as we are following the rules and regulations. We know it, we have support, we know it, we have people around us, who are ready to take care of us..however, if if we do not adhere to what they expect from us, we tend to lose all of this.
Similarly, when we follow the decisions which are imposed on us, we know it, we can easily shrug of saying, you asked me to do so, though we forget we are the one to execute it by complying to what was asked, still we had the will to follow. We do not like to take the responsibility of things we do, so we follow others. If you take own decision, you have to accept the responsibility too, if you fail you have to accept yes, I was wrong, if you succeed, you get the credit, but all the elders are very clever, they condition our minds from the very beginning to think of worse more than good. So that no one can dare to step out of the virtual cage put by society.
If someone tries to break free, they get scared as who will follow them, who will inherit the legacy, which they think they have been preserving, but they don’t know actually its not required, if they let everyone be a true self. They try to ostracize that person saying he is a rebel or he is a criminal, if you do not stop someone from being self, there wont be criminals too as everyone would be responsible for own action and life..they themselves create criminals and then create jails.
If you want to be a free human, you need to follow your heart, you need to step out of comfort zone, take your self responsibility and move ahead, then only you will be a free person
