    "Free-Dom" at Hindsight – "Independence of Individuals"

    Just used the popular book title and has no connection what so ever to the Independence struggle of India but in a way related to the independence of individuals.

    Relationships between spouse, relatives, friends, colleagues and these days to a larger extent on virtual fanfare all boil down to the limits, each one has set or expects to uphold the freedom that allows breathing easy, moving easy and not suffocating with the excesses that come as a freebie with each relationship.

    Why at Hindsight this springs up as a showstopper to the interactions? Or may lead to severing ties? Or regulate to relate? Because only when you are subjected to the thought evolves.

    Some are prone to being subjected to more often than others. Is that because they are giving room or is that the nature of the other person to take control?

    Free from Domination is it Free-Dom for one who is subjected to? Or is it Free Domination of the one who exercises control? Funny word it seems and not very funny though when you experience it.

    An afterthought again that comes to mind is Free-Will. Is it that you want to be Free on Willingness is Free-Will? Or is it the Free Willingness of that individual to suffocate the other?

    Spouses Out of Love, Friends Out of Friendship, Relatives Out of Relationship, Colleagues Out of Colleague-ship, Superiors Out of Superiority tend to Possess each other or Control each other forgetting that there is an Out between the connecting words that actually mean the relationship will be Out and gone Out of the window to wilderness, before even you would actually realize that.

    Independence of Individuals is all the more important than existence without that. Now that we have got over the physical, face to face relationships since the last decade, clinging on to the virtual relationships, have to be very careful in not losing that too. What do we find respite next in the short term? What about the long term?

    Have no answers for that felt above but happy that a realization has come up to act up on. Would help in not being controlled and help in not to take control of one’s Free-Dom by Free-WillIndependence of Individuals upheld for a healthy life ahead by holding on to the relationship, a few that really seem to exist to validate our existence.

    Interesting :) I think in any relationship it is good if we give and get space for ourselves, a little time to ourselves. It helps. Regards.

    Unfortunately at one end we have excessive possessiveness and need to control and at the other end we have extreme individualism. Finding a balance has become such a difficult task.

    Hey GG, Very difficult to get freedom these days. Friends, family, boss expect you to carry your phone everywhere you go and answer at the first ring or reply their texts, or messages. Mistakes like not keeping the phone charged, or keeping the phone on vibration mode are frowned upon and one is termed careless and irresponsible.
    Hope you find your freedom.

    Dear GG,

    In my view, free from domination is to do with how we can individually free ourselves from restraints we put on ourselves like ever growing desires, attachments that limits our ability to discriminate, hate that limits our free flowing love, greed that limits our ability to achieve contentment, jealousy that stops us from recognizing our strengths, pride that seeks words of praise and populism as opposed to recognizing our weaknesses, etc.

    Restraints or self-made and not created by others. Most of the times, we don't understand the emotions of others, if we do, we don't understand the root cause and if we do, we misinterpret, if we don't, we just don't care for the emotions of others. Mostly, the choke-hold is not how we are treated by others but how we feel about it, how we yield with self sympathy and how we promote it through gossip with those who would relate to such emotions.

    Free will is using our discrimination to comply with righteousness, love without any condition, practice non-violence and achieve peace internally. Standing up for ourselves and for others is part of such free will.

    Pride that respects the life-force inside of us is positive whereas the pride that makes us think the body, mind and intellect ("BMI") is the achiever and seeks praise and publicity is negative. Getting rid of the instincts and not through conscious avoidance but through practice and experience is the key.

    Knowing no one can dominate us without our consent and willingness and we should never dominate anyone as part of our righteous principle is the actual freedom. Freedom is not something that is awarded but felt inside and liberation is not achieved from others but from our own bad qualities.

    Viswa
