RE: A free-write on freedom and costs

in #philosophy7 years ago

Freedom without discipline is slavery of the most abject form: addiction. True freedom arises from mastering one's desires, emotional state, will, and reason to be accordance with his purpose and station in life. The modern West, having excised man from God, denuded him from social and communal belonging, and robbed him of destiny, prattle only of individuality and freedom, which only serve to isolate and hollow man. In certain perspective, a slave has more freedom than an emperor, as a slave need not concern himself with extraneous worries, other than his master's command.

Nice to see you here :)

The slave to desire is an issue of course for it will always tie one to a future point, the repression of the desire does too. Removing of the desire is the key (or never building) but to do so is no easy task.
