Cherished, ever-sought, but never availed bliss of true freedom remains a two-edged enigma throughout the philosophical discourse. The more one yearns for it, the more one has to, in steemit’s parlance, delegate it.! Freedom has its own invisible and captivating chains which continue growing and stiffening as oblivious tentacles. Given that every financial system has to be a kind of serving one, the more one longs for its service, the harder one has to do a disservice to one’s liberty. Thankyou @frank1in for the insightful piece that touches aspects which we feel every moment but Cant shake off as we are survival-hungry
At all times there were those people who were the ruling caste and they controlled the overwhelming majority. Now practically nothing has changed. Technological progress extends our capabilities, but it also makes us dependent.
Perfectly. And how many of us would, at cost that is not to be taken in consideration even, be ready to ward off perpetuating dependence? Seems like self negation. Likewise run other shackles; and freedom, alas, slaughted therefore, conscientiously
I think that people simply need dependence on something. Some are addicted to alcohol, some from smoking, some from the game, some from relationships. But completely independent people are very few.
Things like complete independent, or the absolute one, exists no where if we have to persevere in a society that is regulated by materials and monetary concerns. Beyond that, is jungle, and these every herbivore or carnivore is again dependent on food chain, protective camouflage, and so on. Pitiably, man got only what he can do, not what could be done to him or her
