What is freedom?

Chen Jin said: freedom is you stand alone, not attachment, not afraid. In this world, there are many things, no one can help you, only you.

The more you know, the less people know you.

Everyone is pursuing freedom and independence. And behind the real freedom and independence must be the soul that others cannot understand. People who are capable always seem so out of place, because their world no one can understand. Because everyone's experience is different, the suffering is also different, so no one really knows who, the biggest can only be understood, because the world has never been empathy.

True freedom must have rules and no restraints: + restraint, no pressure. Independence and freedom may bring loneliness, but such loneliness is not lonely, because the heart is full, is rich, more like the cool cool summer night.

Maybe in this world, there is no real freedom. We are born with too many responsibilities and obligations on our shoulders. It is impossible for us to be free. True freedom, perhaps only refers to the rich heart, the mind is free, the body will feel very happy.

People are crazy in pursuit of the so-called freedom of wealth, freedom of time, freedom of spirit, but these are just wishful thinking, how much wealth is enough, I think there is no limit, you only want more and more. And true time freedom, unless you have no attachment, which is unlikely. And spiritual freedom, this is just an imagination of people, a kind of hope, in fact, this kind of freedom may not exist at all. Because all of these freedoms are predicated on harm to others, on the absence of responsibility and obligation.

The true freedom should be the joy of growth, the joy of success, and even the pleasure of taking time off from busy work.
