'I come with glad tidings, of a world free from freedom.' - Loki
I have been pondering on this notion for quite awhile after observing how others handle themselves. I am trying to not reach a conclusion about how others carry themselves about, but sooner or later, one has to reach a conclusion. After all, the mind will automatically create one for us anyway to aid response to a friend or whoever.
Before freedom was given to women, by hiding themselves from society Little value was given to them by the men folks. They are regarded as items. Assessories, Not humans. I am not a vindicator of such perspectives don't get me wrong. I enjoy the notion of everyone having the freedom to chose anything and whenever. While being regarded as an item, trading them and using them was also similar. I even read in history, someone who wanted to sell his wife in an auction! However the desire to be loyal but free to chose was something that was deeply rooted in women. You don't hear of many adultery acts that you would hear of now which resulted from the freedom of choice. Then, despite freedom not being a notion that is available, though having the desire, protest against prevention of freedom also took the form of one that has dignity. (until some girls decided to strip clear themselves in public as demonstration)
I think freedom is something that has to be carefully considered. In its essence, it has a wholly individualistic notion to life. Considerations of any other persons, beings even spouses and family members becomes of neglecting matter. Especially since the notion behind freedom is release, breakaway, which then brings to mind the next big word. Rebellion.
Consider this. 2 people being wholly in love with each other. Both wanting to hang on to their freedom greatly. Not wanting to be subject to caging of the other member. How individualistic that mindset is going to affect both parties! decisions made unanimous. Instead of the notion of 2 people coming to be the union of one, now it is 2 people living separate lives without thought for each other other than the emotional notion of love. As a result, arguments like our love gone cold, testing, it doesn't work out starts to come to sound like a reasonable perspective. But the whole notion of true love originates from sacrifice which instills the idea that freedom has to be forgone, destroyed and never to be heard of again. As Shakespeare puts it, cage that i never want to come out of.
also, with freedom, comes the ability to change decisions. And too freely I must say. The ideology of responsibility in making sure ones words are simply 'yes' 'no' becomes weightless. With one being able to change his decision so easy, what then becomes of the weight that can be added to his promises. Since everything transforms into a maybe.
Freedom is good. But we don't look like man and woman of the civilised society anymore. We look like a casual group of hippies going home from a midnight dance in the club.
