Freedom... A very simple word but very difficult to understand. Freedom as defined as the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint. In other words, freedom from rules and regulations. Freedom to do anything you always wanted to do. Isn’t that word magical? All your hopes, desire and emotions in just one simple word. But there is one limitation to that definition. It only defines of the sate of not being in physical restrain. It does not include the mental freedom. What about freedom of thoughts? Freedom to agree or disagree or freedom to imagine. Freedom to hope. Freedom also has different meaning for different peoples. How many times it has happened to you that you are watching a movie and your imagination leads you to the beautiful location projected in that. It almost feels like you are at that place. Or sometimes when you read one of the Robert Frost poem and without any illustration you can create that image in your mind and cherish it. I consider this more important than physical freedom.Being free is really important and also very difficult. Everyone everywhere wants you to be the part of their mental space and play a role which can make them feel free. It’s like there is a war between people for his/her freedom with their own friends. The challenge is to channelize their thoughts and shear their freedom to cherish each others. That’s where the real meaning for social freedom comes into picture. It’s when you feel free even being in the mental space of someone else’s thoughts. Its real tough job but once achieved, can lead you to the whole new world. Imagine a thought which you share with someone and he adds his imagination to it and you suddenly discover something new altogether. That’s what the idea of combined imagination is. And trust me it would be far more beautiful than the world you have created for yourself. To explain it in simpler word, it’s like the world of two lovers who see future with their partners in it. I don’t say it as shared imagination because shared is something which does not have additional add-ons. But when we combine two thoughts we come up with one altogether new thought.
I hope as a free man that I’m able to find as many friends as i can to make them a part of my imagination. I hope that they will like my virtual world and add their own world to it. But what i hope that they will stay there forever. That’s when I’ll feel free.
