Chained and Jailed by society!

We might not see our chains and see the bars to our cells but we are chain and jailed by society which it demands of us. Truly "Being free" what is that? Only a select few can honestly say that and the only way we will hear them say that is if we go looking for them cause if you asking the people around you when you are living it you won't find it. You won't see free people around sitting in a restaurants or in the line to buy popcorn, No this is completely the opposite of being free!

Look around You at any given moment, sitting at work in traffic we are chained to our desk or our trade till the time we have been paid to work, till that time has come to pass, You can't just leave work and expect to feel free even if it is a dream job, No matter what, at some point there will be a moment when you realize that you are actually not free. I have been wrestling with this for sometime now and the closest I feel to being free is when I only lengthen my chains, we are all slave to something, individuals experience this differently.

Until I saw it,the only time when one is truly free is when two instances occur in their life. When everything you see is like you have seen it for the first time, example: a kid watching a fountain show or an adult staring at the northern lights or a young traveler looking at the Eiffel tower for the first time. You see our problem is that we have trained ourselves to become numb to the wonders around us and of this world in all their greatness and amazement, instead we look at them once, three times feel that amazing feeling and forget about it and there is a drive for a want to see more, it is our greed we lust over more we want more and more! and more! everyday until we have slaved ourselves to fulfill these quests of seeing what we haven't seen. Working harder at work to provide these needs forgetting the value of just waking up after sleeping, breathing air that seems so simple but until you taking your last breath seems so scary.

We have forgotten how it is to be free we close ourselves off from the soul to the heart, the mind to the walls and bars that surround our lives, with gates and jobs. We place material wants above needs, because needs are not as freeing as wants!?, so we convince ourselves that we want these things in order to live a fulfilling free felt life. 

Free: Not under the control or in the power of another, able to act or be done as one wishes.

Its amazing if I had to ask people before they read this, how free they are, many say "yes im free".

Being free is nearly a state of mind where if your mind is chained you are chained discover where the first link of your chain began and break it, if that is too hard already: identifying one link at a time and breaking it. Yes this is slower but less scary. This being said it is not an easy thing to do as we have built our lives up by not being free, so naturally we are scared of the opposite occurrence because we can't see it and would it not be easier to see what the freest future holds?
