Freedom
Isn't it great when things just fall into place? I wonder if its possible to accelerate your thoughts. I'm sure I've gotten further. How do we show or express this freedom? And where?

I have come to the realisation that we must understand the way nature is. This understanding, which in essence is to determine the way things are, gives us freedom. Freedom is not given, freedom must be attained or else we are a robot; carrying out pre-destined or environmentally imposed orders. The more we understand nature, and our role within it the more we can utilise it. I've found this very useful in expressing how freedom.

Precisely. I couldnt agree more with your point.

A short but sweet definition i've found for freedom, is as follows:

"The ability to condemn yourself".

I dont believe it quite accurately flows with what you were saying...but its a way for us to learn by any means possible. Even in contradiction.

Freedom is the ability to exist through contradiction.

Through something that only makes sense on a higher level.


To find love in hate. And the opposite. To find joy in sorrow, to find heat in cold. To find peace in chaos. To find serenity in discomfort.

To know what isnt, by knowing what is.

To find the differences, and what keeps them together.
