People everywhere, convinced that this is all they have ever wanted and therfore is all they have ever strived for. The are convinced because they are told thats what they should want. It wasn't untill a few weeks ago that I realised I didn't have to get married if I didn't want, I always had thought of it as something that is just going to happen. I don't have to have kids. I don't have to live by the law.
No, you don't have to do any of those things. But there will always be people who will try to force you to. It's a world of wants and pleasures, and the man with the bigger gun can take what he wants.
ReplyDeleteSo you build youself up, trying to be that bigger man. But when you get there, you can't see where you once were; you can't see the reason to get out. So you climb and climb in hopes that you won't fall down.
Life is just a game of ladders. You look down and see how high you are. You look up and see something better, and so you climb...
Your given choice. And that choice you make determines what your next outcome will be. Wether you get married or choose to be a criminal, its all based on that one little choice you make.
ReplyDeleteYou're kind of free, but you're not completely free.
ReplyDeletestarsuckers.
ReplyDeletepeople inherently follow the most successful people in the group. it's a basic instinct we have to survive. so if the 'norm' is to do those things we will do those things, to survive. taking any other path will result in a shorter lifespan.
sad but true, sigh~
what is this man i dont agree srry :( great post
ReplyDeleteI am a nonconformist
ReplyDeleteYe u dont have to do these things but restrictions are necessary

ReplyDeletenice post!
ReplyDeleteLife is alright... Its all we've got
ReplyDeleteim free...what about you?
ReplyDeleteyou are not free. i think maybe. sometimes. on tuesdays yeah you know what to do
ReplyDeleteI've seen that post all over. It pisses me off. Misinformation. Yes, you have to send your kids to school, but you are free to choose what job you do. You are free to choose your clothing. You are free to walk in the grass (as long as it is yours). Think.
ReplyDeleteDude, this is one of my favorite pictures ever, so real, so fucking true
ReplyDeleteI am not free ;(
ReplyDeleteEveryone's free. You can do whatever you want, but some actions might have consequences. So in effect, you're free to make any decision you want but you'll probably have to deal with the consequences if there are any for that action.
ReplyDeletewe're all free to some extent...
ReplyDeleteIf you say so. But if you break the law, they wil arrest you.
ReplyDeleteDeep stuff, though they do seem to be the basics of life.
ReplyDeleteIt's no hassle. You use google don't you? Its the exact same thing execpt you get paid for it.
ReplyDeletewelcome to high school. jk. but those ideas are sort of easily figured out.
ReplyDeleteBasics of life my friend, we are never free.
ReplyDeletedeep
ReplyDeleteThis is deep and all but... What more do you want??? I don't like walking on grass.
ReplyDeleteFreedom is not an actuality in this world - it is a mentality. In order for one to be free, he must will himself free and forgo the basic laws and customs set before him in order to venture off and do what he chooses.
ReplyDeleteFreedom is just a state of mind, that is, if you are not full of madness!
ReplyDelete^ Tha'ts kind of true
ReplyDeleteAll of that is true, but freedom is not freedom from the repercussions of your actions. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteNone of us can say we're truly free. We'll always have some sort of restriction, always something binding us down. If we think we are free, then we are free but that's only because we're being ignorant to the truth.
ReplyDelete...i try to be free....
