Freedom.Azaadi.Freiheit

You may think you are free but that's it; that's all you can do about it: Think.

True freedom, like true happiness, is something that we can only pursue and never attain. Atleast while you are alive you can't.

I mean look around, seriously, look around. Look at the farce that we call religion. It's a dangerous word. There's one thing that I learned about it and I am not likely to forget it easily: It's an impossible question to answer. An ingenious argument to refute.

This is what they say: before doing anything, think twice and thank the "God". The laws of religion are the shackles that won't let you soar. They will pull you down to earth. Freedom needs wings, needs imagination. It needs you to be YOU.

Ask yourself, how many times has it happened, when you achieve something, something that you worked really hard for, you sweated away your time to see it fulfilled and finally when the pregnancy is over and you look at the labor of your allegorical 9 months; they tell you to thank God for it.

Can you believe this?

I need to thank someone who is "supposed" to be the one behind it all? I myself didn't achieve it, it was "he" who made it happen?
Everything is planned?
Bullshit...

I will tell you one thing. If you believe in freedom, you cannot believe in God. God isn't dead, he just never existed. The whole idea of God, of destiny, is at daggers with the idea of freedom.

What is freedom? It is the ability to choose. Choice. Distinction. Deliberation. But if everything is already determined, it's fixed, then does choice exist? Does true freedom exist?

No. If you believe in God that is.But if you can grasp the fact that it's You. Yourself against the world. There is no one watching you from above: then you are at peace. The realization hits you like a thunderbolt: It's you who is responsible and not some invisible, overworked guy sipping coffee in his office in the skies. No relations, no people; however you might love them; are going to be there with you after the end. You have to journey all alone and you have to prepare for it.

This life is nothing but a little bump on the highway of the cosmos. Hitch a ride and be free...
