Love this post :)

I can relate to everything you've said from my own experience of life. Often we have people of great wisdom, showing us the path to freedom, to peace. But it is seldom an external freedom from for eg. state oppression, financial freedom, freedom of will or of borders etc.

It is usually a very sublime form of personal freedom. Freedom not of physical shackles but shackles of the mind. Inner freedom where one's soul can thrive and be alive, while the external circumstances remain the same. I doubt there can be external freedom for a member of our society today. We are always bound by the system. Maybe one day in the future, But what is of more value now, and always, is inner freedom. The achievement of that leaves much less to be desired in terms of any other 'freedoms'. External freedoms then become, icing on the cake.

Thank you for sharing this post :)
