F.R.E.E.D.O.M

whats freedom? 100% freewill of of doing as we please? Gone are the rules, regulations, routines? Away with all opinions from others, labels from society, norms of the environment we live in?

Jus finished a novel by a taiwanese writer, it talks about city dwellers looking for the door, the key, the avenue and the answer to FREEDOM.

Thoughts ran through my mind as i followed through the dialogues, the experiences of the characters. Characters found true freedom in their least expected circumstances and situations. One found himself jailed after a futile chase after status, money, fame and freedom from the status of being employed. Another found herself dead after realising that true freedom comes from within oneself, comes from knowing that nothing in this world gives you true freedom until you are(feel) free inside,all these realisations came only after months of wandering in the deserted Madagascar. Another found herself leaving the very place that she had placed her hopes, her dreams, her desires, her expectations in for a period of time after her hopes were dashed by the very person she loves but not reciprocated.
Yet there were those who found their freedom without wandering. without forsaking all and leave for another place. without changing their status. Cos they found freedom within.

I have been searching for answers all my life too. Guess its time to stop and look within. Look upwards.
