During the last few weeks while I was on leave I actually had quite a lot of time to think while I recharged my own batteries. One of the many random thoughts that came up was:
What if we lived in a world with no rules.....what if we could do whatever we want without anyone telling us what to do? What if we could live in a free society?
What exactly is a free society?
Most countries are ruled by a government and we are all restricted up to a point. We are controlled by politicians and set rules. We have become so used to these rules, that it has become part of our lives. We regard all these rules and regulations a part of our lives and logically see this as the natural way to do things. Because we have become so used to this way of living, it is extremely hard to imagine what a free society actually means.
What is freedom?
Freedom:
Have you ever really thought what this word means?
Freedom simply means not being imprisoned or enslaved. It means the right to act, speak and think as you choose, without oppressive restrictions imposed on you by others, including those in authority. It applies in your personal, family and social life as well as to your political views and in your economic transactions with others.
WOW!!!
If you look at this definition it makes you think right? Are we really as free a we think we are? Are we able to live freely when a government prescribes to us what to do? Freedom means that there is nothing prohibiting us to act as we choose. To be free means that we can do what we want, whenever we want and go where we want at any point of time.
What are the rules in a free society?
- Everyone is considered equal.
- Everyone has the same rights.
- No one is manipulated by anyone.
- You are free to do whatever you want as long as you don't harm anyone.
Will this even be possible?
If everyone was able to do whatever they want without being touched by any law would that not cause chaos?
Are we so used to doing things according to rules, that we will struggle without rules?
I believe that we all have a right to live as we want...but do we as humans have it in us to change?
