An individual does not achieve freedom solely by releasing him from slavery.

There is no such thing like absolute freedom.

Freedom of an individual within a community is described and determined by the community.

Our necessities and surroundings constrain us.

One of these items is fear.

 

Fear

 

Mankind is possessed by fear.

They are suffering

in a world demanding from them

to be active,

to connect themselves with it,

to contrast themselves with it,

to conserve themselves.

Why not just lie down and die?

And what than?

Dilemma.

 

They are moved by powers

they can't control,

which forces them to life.

 

They are caught.

Prisoners of their development,

their consciousness

whose laws they are constrained to,

whom they cannot resist.

 

So they retract inwards,

flee outwards,

loose themselves

in quotidian habits,

in self-indulgence:

Flesh focussed.

 

They reach out for excesses

which moves them out of this reality:

drugs, obsessions, fanaticism, religion.

 

They dive into illusions,

virtual worlds,

where it's possible to abandon

the consciousness of existence.

But they are hindered,

held,

retraced to the questions: Why? What for?

 

They fight,

tear themselves away apparently,

escape continuously,

are caught constantly.

 

Fade away!

Retire into another reality.

Burden the others with the support of one's life.

Reduce one's reality to a minimum.

Delegate all responsibilities

to someone else.

 

You are my God,

if you take the consciousness of being

off me

and guide me into a reign of everlasting well-being.

 

Fear regresses mankind.

 

Their potentiality is wasted

either for themselves as for the others.

 

They don't grow,

they don't green,

they will never be seeds

for a griefless and livelier

reality.

 

 

 

 

Freedom

 

 

Freedom is wings

Sprouted up

By cognition

Spread

By devotion
