Lessons and Thoughts about this and that; Principles

Am I free? when? at birth? when do I give up my freedom? to whom? outside forces? inside forces? Over the course of history many people have fought to preserve their freedom, what does that mean? what is it needed to "preserve" my freedoms intact. Is it "obedience"? or simply that I feel free? Memorial day brings the thought of those who fought for our freedom, to which we ought to be indebted forever, as they died to preserve our most precious gift. To them my respect and gratitude, it is perhaps thinking of them that I am posting this. Recently I have gone through an experience we have all gone at some extent or another in our lives, which is the moment when we feel that our freedom to choose has been compromised, when we feel our choices are limited by certain actions we have made, whether by criticism of another person(s) or by our own doings. A dear friend of mine stated to me that part of a bad relationship is not to feel free to act, and that a good

Freedom is the very essence of life, freedom to choose as we may and gather the consequences of our actions (check with any farmer on this topic for clarification) Let's for a minute agree to certain other things and take it from there: 1.

From 1 and 2 one must conclude: 4. There must be an opposite to our ultimate goal of happiness; This must be m

This world is filled with sensory experiences, from touch to taste, to smells of aromas, perfumes, food, to images, art, tv, radio, animals, it is a serious abundance of all the possible combination   of senses existent nowadays. I think that as humanity has grown so it has grown our need to fill more and more those sensory experiences, perhaps as a product of discovery of even new methods and technology? We as a society have decided to try hallucinogens, all sorts of drugs, adrenaline, the rush of events, sex, etc etc etc in order to have more and more of these type of experiences, they are super enticing; But what is that we are really searching for when we engage on them? Is it simply the desire to fill that knowledge of how it feels? is it curiosity? some call it experimentation but I think this term it is too big for sometimes such endeavours, as the process of experimentation entails some sort of a method; a method that requires a process, a scientific method per se and more oft
