RE: Understanding freedom

in #freedom6 years ago

Wow I had not been in Steemit for quite some time, unfortunately I was very sick. But again I'm here and it's good that one of the first post I read is yours, they've always caught my attention.

I feel that the freedom we can have most human beings is currently limited, beyond the external limitations as you say, such as freedom of expression and among other things. Everything goes beyond, but the real limitation that we find in modern life is society and the prejudices it creates where it subjects and punishes people for being different, not allowing them to be who they really are, because everyone expects an individual fits in the social "norms" to which we are all exposed, that is the first thing we must work on, much progress has been made but there is still a long way to go to be a clearly adaptive society and that no one is afraid to show itself as it is for so be really free. Thanks for your post!

Well, everything you say about society, prejudices, etc., are external "impositions", and of course it must be treated, although the first thing is, and always will be, treating ourselves, that is why I place more emphasis in personal freedom.

If a people, perverted by their training, succeed in achieving their liberty, they will soon lose it (Un pueblo pervertido si alcanza su libertad, muy pronto vuelve a perderla.)

The first thing is to change ourselves before trying to change society. It's good that you rejoin, and thanks for passing. Greetings.
