Freedom is defined as "the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint "
How often are we physically free yet not free. How often are we so tied down mentally. It makes me wonder how exactly does one be free ? Freedom maybe momentary but i still dont know what it means to experience freedom.
Does freedom mean not having restrictions or is it just being free to do everything you desire to do ? But how often is it practically possible to do all that we want to do without abandoning the responsibilities and commitments we have in our lives , like job.. family.. etc etc...
My dad told me once " One may not always be able to only that what he/she wants in life, sometimes we have to make certain sacrifices for our loved ones", we are not independant beings our lives are dependant on others and others on ours there is a link, does being free mean abandoning that link ?
Deep inside my heart i want to experience freedom, i want my heart.. my mind.. and my body to be free.. I wonder what i would have to abandon if i was to start a quest for freedom...

For that quest, one would have to abandon not their loved ones, but their 'expectations'.
But most people see abandoning the expectations of the loved ones as abandoning them. Isn't it true to an extent that our lives are linked to the lives of others also, so is it right to just set out thinking only about one self ??
Well, i do not know what is 'right and wrong'; but one has the choice of deciding what is right for themselves.
It is a choice one makes.
