Nothing can stop your yearning for freedom!

A friend of mine posted an idea:

After seeing this passage, a lyric popped into my mind:

Nothing Can block your yearning for freedom!

Yes, that’s the word!

Free!

We all yearn for a life of freedom and freedom.

I think that is freedom.

But it seems...

No one can truly live as they please.

Yes, no one!

Because human desires are boundless and broader than the universe. What we imagine may not even exist in the universe.

Even in fantasy novels, those male protagonists whose hearts are full of human restlessness but whose bodies exude god-like energy always have times when they cannot get what they want.

Off-topic: In addition to the restless heart and god-like abilities of the male protagonists of this type of novels, another characteristic is that they are very popular with women and are loved by everyone. And as long as the girl he likes, she will eventually become his woman. I think this is because the author was unable to fall in love when he was young, leaving him with a lot of unwillingness, and he healed himself in the novel. Or maybe the author is super powerful, has a thorough understanding of human nature, and knows that writing this way can attract a large number of boys, girls, and even old men and women who need self-healing.

Internet writers really need this kind of skill! The translation is: Come on, let’s have sex together!

That’s too far.

Let’s talk about freedom when we come back.

When our desires cannot even be accommodated by the universe, at this time, if you say you want to be free and live as you please according to your desires, it is indeed impossible.

But I don’t want to say that you will be free if you let go of your desires.

Wanting to reach a state where there is no desire at all, isn’t this a very strong desire in itself? This is a paradox.

Human beings are not gods.

It is impossible to do whatever you want and have everything you want come true.

People are not clouds.

It is impossible to drift by in the wind without taking away a trace of desire.

So it seems that we will never achieve freedom?

Yes! If we just emphasize that I want to be free, it will never be achieved.

Because there is no absolute freedom.

Freedom is always within us.

So what is freedom?

Let’s first talk about the lyrics mentioned earlier.

Those are the lyrics of Xu Wei's song "Blue Lotus", which is said to be written to Master Xuanzang.

Everyone knows the story of Master Xuanzang’s journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He firmly believed that the Buddhist scriptures would have an educational effect on the people of the East, which would in turn help the Tang Dynasty realize a harmonious society.

So he firmly embarked on the journey westward and finally retrieved the scripture.

From a certain perspective, he has achieved freedom. But I am not saying that only religion can make people free. Rather, I would like to use Xuanzang’s story to illustrate my understanding of freedom.

The so-called freedom is:

Your knowledge and understanding of the world, coupled with your ability, can realize your desires.

Therefore, if a person feels that he has not achieved freedom, he or she has an incomplete understanding of the world. Or my ability is not enough. Or one's own desires are unrealistic compared to ability and serious knowledge.

So it is not advisable to just let go of desires to achieve freedom.

An intuitive feeling of realizing freedom in the secular world is: There is one thing that makes you love "selflessly" and give without regrets.

The most representative example is that the craftsman devotes himself wholeheartedly to studying and polishing his own work. In this process he is free.

There are many ways to achieve freedom.

Even a trafficker can achieve his own freedom.

In this way, "freedom" is actually not that high-end.

Freedom can be big or small, long or short. Some people's freedom may be exactly what hinders their development to a higher level.

Freedom is relative.

It is a movement system in which a person's cognition, ability and desire are mutual references. When the speed and direction of the three are the same, the person feels relatively calm and satisfied. It is the so-called freedom.

This is the joking version of free relativity.
