Lost in Translation Posted July 30, 2018 There is freedom in success, having conquered your foes. There is freedom in failure, having no more further need to strive. There is freedom in love, giving selflessly for another. There is freedom in hatred, not caring for anyone. There is freedom in goodness, bringing light into the world. There is freedom in evil, shrouding the world in darkness. How do you find freedom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lost in Translation Posted July 30, 2018 I thought I had found freedom, but now I am not certain. It seems to me that the opposite of freedom is not bondage but fear, since it is fear that creates bondage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ilumairen Posted July 30, 2018 Strong gusts of wind are blowing now, and the sky is rumbling. Freedom, for me, is ''enjoyment' of the ever present moment at hand - or maybe a simple expression of being. It doesn't seem to have an opposite. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted July 30, 2018 Yes, freedom comes in many colors. I guess it depends on what one feels they are in bondage to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rideforever Posted August 2, 2018 Entering yourself is like entering life itself. Who then needs freedom ? Freedom is a word that those in bondage use to imagine the fixing of their bondage. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
