The Pursuit of Freedom
Friday, August 24th, 2007
The unyielding pursuit of freedom
tragically enslaves the pursuer to the pursuit.
For the very freedom one is pursuing,
was used to begin the pursuit.
The unyielding pursuit of freedom
tragically enslaves the pursuer to the pursuit.
For the very freedom one is pursuing,
was used to begin the pursuit.
So freedom is sacrificed for the pursuit.
So to begin some chase the pursuer gave up their freedom.
One cannot be free when they are always chasing after something.
Are these interpretations on the correct path?
I get it to some degree, but slightly I stay stumped.
Maybe more ides will come another time I read it.
Maybe it is saying that to pursue anything is giving up freedom.
And that possibly right where one is is freedom so long as they a person is not trying to bring anything into the scene or change anything, the person can be free.
To just be in things as they are and not desire something to alter the state of anything.
Just be maybe.
Unless one needs something,
nothing needs to be pursued,
that is were freedom exists
Emiri, you were pretty close to my intended meaning with, “And that possibly right where one is is freedom so long as they a person is not trying to bring anything into the scene or change anything, the person can be free.”
Simply said, if one can’t see the freedom one has right now, right where they are, how can one expect to find it elsewhere?
In my writing, the pursuer of freedom unknowingly uses their freedom to search for it.
It’s like using a flashlight to search for the very same flashlight your holding.
lovely thought
