FREEDOM

Erich From said: "Freedom is possible only when you aren't  involved in any orders". If you want be free, you must be undependent on culture, other people, things, ideas… This might lead to loneliness. What do you think- isn't it too high price to be free? Or, maybe Fromm was mistaken?

free is not independent.It's  opposit.

When you go out for a trip,and when you walk alone in a holl ,and so on

then you are free,and you can clear your mind ,keep it out of every thing incloud the person you really care, and the person whom was loved by you,and who help you ever,and now ,you may be a free one .

 but when you need care and when you need someone's touch ,and when you need somebody comfort your soul.

you will fine what the true meaning of free,indeed ,it's a wonderful thing for every peolpe here.

Hello Boojosta,

I admire your profession and I think you really like helping people . You are helping us to reflect  on such a deep topic  : Freedom.

Fromm was not mistaken of course . ( My favourite is " The Art of Loving " ) 

We are alone when we have to choose , it is our own decision , others can influence of course but at the moment of choosing it's only yourself .

I think it is wonderful to know we are free when we can make an election …we are responsible for this and we become autonomous …

I would like to finish with two Mahatma Gandhi's quotations " I want freedom for the full expression of my personality"  and  " You can chain me, you can torture me , you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind "

 

Greetings to you all

Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom. To be fruitful, the two ideas must find their limits in each other.

I remember once I read that freedom is when you allow athers to be free, independent in everything. i agree. when you accept the world as it is, do what you think is right but at the same time don't try to change the world and people, you  are free.
