LIFE IS ETERNAL SEARCH OF FREEDOM

When I was a child, I used to think about the luxuries and comfort of elder people. I used to think especially during examination time that they don’t have to give any examinations and they can sleep whenever they want and they can watch television according to their wish. Sometime my mother read my thoughts and said, “There was a time when I also need to gave examinations but I performed well and that’s why now I am free from examinations. You will also have same comfort once you will pass all your examinations.” But as a child I always wonder why not now? Why later? But I showed them I agreed with her. But in mind, I always had doubt. During that time I wanted to become free from examinations and studies so that I could play with friends all day, watch television etc. I often felt jealously with friends who had finished their examinations while my examinations were still remains to complete.

Many people may have same feeling during their childhood as I felt during my childhood about which I mentioned above. But even after getting free from that situation of childhood, are we really free? After completing studies, unemployed wants a job, those who have job want to get better job, those who have better job want to become a manager, those who are manager want to get much higher level managerial responsibilities. People think that they will enjoy more happiness by getting freedom from current state and that’s why they always dream of next higher level. Freedom is processes to get rid of things on which you are depend; it can be stated as process to remove those decencies. Street vendors think of their own shop so that they don’t need to go from one street to another in order to sell their goods. A shopkeeper think of bigger shop so that he/she can hire servants so that he/she don’t need to bring required good from the place it is placed in shop to counter. And so on.

Everybody wants to free from certain things in life in order to fulfill the desire to live a better life. This quest of complete freedom leads human race from Stone Age to current scientific era. But will this quest ever end? I think no. We cannot remove all our dependency. Because getting freedom from one thing makes us to depend on another new thing. Freedom from letters to communicate makes us depend on mobile phones.

We are like that thirst traveler in desert who thought by seeing a mirage that “ultimately I got water” but when traveler reach that place he/she find one more mirage and this same cycle repeated until he/she die. People are searching from complete freedom but nobody can find that like the thirsty traveler could not find water. Life is an eternal search of freedom.

Look into yourself, you will find you are already free.
