 FREEDOM OF BEING

Freedom of being we would experience naturally if we did not live exclusively clinging to the fruit of our actions, which, motivated by desires, excite us with the promise of personal satisfaction, and at the same time punish us with the anguish of frustration, because we know, from experience, that satisfaction is an uncertain destination, and on this carousel, over the years, the potential experience of freedom of being is eroded.

Freedom of being is the consciousness being, yes, motivated by desires most of the time, however, also gracefully giving up desires to respond to needs, regardless of whether they are sympathetic or unfriendly to us, but because we are present in the situation and have the capacity to intervene, no longer for the benefit of our own satisfaction or frustration, but in the name of something greater than ourselves, without necessarily receiving anything in return.

Freedom of being is to be greater than ourselves and, acting within the scope of our knowledge, without caring whether our action is successful or unsuccessful immediately, to undertake just because it is the right thing to do, planting an impersonal seed in the middle of the ocean of human relationships guided exclusively by desire, attachment and the insane motivation to possess each other.

The danger of attachment is not frustration, but the loss of our freedom.

The truth does not depend on preferences or different opinions, it is what it is, it resists any attempt to distort and fit it within a limited framework. That's why the truth comes to light over time.
