Freedom For Free
The meaning of freedom has shifted a little or the freedom has become overrated - I am not sure which of the two sentences presents my view towards freedom. A lot of (mostly young) people are shouting here there and everywhere in the world, demanding freedom. Some in social media, some on the streets with big posters, some in form of paintings or art installations and some in any other form you name it. You aren't a free person yet if you haven not got real drunk or smoke a pack of cigarette a day or behave defiantly. Supposed a 15 year-old-boy had run away from home because their parents wouldn’t allow him to smoke cigarettes. He felt imprisoned, then felt free the minute he finally had cigarettes in his hands. After some days or months he started having this addiction, both physically and psychologically. Now comes my question, does this addiction equals freedom? Does freedom means that he could smoke, or that if he weren’t addicted to smoking? I don’t have any idea how...
