The enslaved psyche!

'Freedom' is a dirty word. Career has usurped its importance. We live our ebtire life for the sake of recognition and do not give even an iota of consideration to freedom of choosing any task. The run-of-the-mill money making process is the de rigeur of the day.
For that there a few good men who toil for more than 12 hours a day and suffer severe chidings by the peer despite loathing that. Why do live like that against their natural likings? Perhaps recognition is a very strong concept today and what does take in a few cases. Repression of desires. And who says that to? Money can satisfy all desires. And the majority is cocksure about that.
These are the best of the times and these are the worst of the times. Dickens said that long back, but it is even more germane today. And that is perhaps the trouble.We get stressed because of this disconnect. We vacillate between the two. Lives have become a shuttlecock. The two halves of the court are our nemesis.
Noone respects a truly free man. Is there really one?
Man was born free but alas evereywhere he is in chains!
Sometimes we can resolve to break at least a few links in the fetters of the society. This does reuire a lot of guts and gumption as the mighty society is cruel on anyonewho dares even to think of it. And yes the brickbats will be received with a much greater frequency and that is where an individual has to headstrong in not minding them.
If we sensitize it in toto, the repurcussions will be so strong that the individual will simply perish. What is required is perhaps the respect of ideologies and a silent but steely resolve to continue waking on the road less travelled despite all the expletives being hurled by all and sundry.
Man was born free. Adam must have lived lesser but he probalby enjoyed evry minute of his life. He was not probably even concerned about the perils of living the life of a neanderthal man. When you are blissfully aware of the hazards, you enjoy them and perhaps come out a winner in a better way.
We are aware of the shortcomings of the life of a Neanderthal man but we are unable to enjoy our own cosy lifestyle. Throw insecurities and unsettle the settlement to enjoy life at times.
Settlement is always temporary if we view it from the philosophical perspectives.
I accept that it can be a case of 'Grapes are sour'. We have to do justice to our potential, talent, education, culture, and so on and so forth. The list is endless. Daily we need to report to the society and we have no time to report to ourselves. We can try to be the master of our lives. We can try for that.
