There are different types of freedom, I'm sure. What is it to be completely free? Can anyone really be free? If you are really free do you worry? Do you worry about other people? Do people cause you to not be free? What is it like to be free? There is mental freedom and physical freedom. You can be physically bound and mentally free, or can you? Does your body have to be free for your mind to be completely free? Well, wait, we still haven't even defined freedom, so we are getting ahead of ourselves. I used to think the greatest thing in life was that no one could ever know what you were thinking, and, that is what freedom was to me. Now, I am beginning to think that can make you a prisoner. That is an easy way to avoid life, if you get too caught up in never telling anyone the way you think or feel. But, if you go overboard and are always broadcasting every little thought that comes into your head you can end up locked away, therefor talking all your (so called) freedom. Would you call that a conundrum or do I just have a problem grasping the concept of a middle ground? Is it dangerous to stay in your head? Is it dangerous to never go there? Again with the middle ground. With enough money we are free to roam the earth and that is surely a type of freedom. Still, there is only so much earth. And yeah, there are ways to leave earth and travel even further but only so many people are presented that opportunity, granted, some people work for it. And all this makes me think of that Beatles lyric that goes, "Without going out of your door you can know all things on earth". I am not saying you have to go anywhere to be free. I just want to define freedom. I can't tell if I am getting off topic and I guess I don't care. I am free to write whatever I feel. Given too much freedom can you trust yourself? Given too little freedom can you trust yourself? Does total mental freedom lead to enlightenment or mental slavery? Is it even important to define freedom at all? Is it indefinable? But this incessant need to know. Knowledge is a type of freedom, a very important type of freedom. Power is certainly a type of freedom. Things that aren't tangible are always the hardest to define. There is freedom in so many emotions. Life itself is freedom, right? Is there freedom in death (No, I am not suicidal.)? Since I thought of writing that you probably think I am. It doesn't matter what you think, right? Who am I asking all these questions to? Some people spend a lot of time, if not all their time, enslaving themselves and they don't even realize it. There are so many things that will cripple you mentally, I know. Imaginary worlds, universes, and people will usually only hinder you. Is living in the moment freedom? If so, how do you do that? Are all of these rhetorical questions? I always thought escaping was freedom. But escaping from what? Just escaping, eluding, fleeing any and all types of scenes. Escaping can be entrapment. It is so easy to destroy yourself. Can it be so hard to free yourself? I don't want to live in my head.


I love you David.
