“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” |
|
Answer» To understand the above statement we have to understand what ‘freedom’ is. Our mind is free only when it is in a state to fully accept the beauties of environment. This is possible only when the mind is not preoccupied. Mind is sensitive to extraordinary beauty. Real freedom is being free from all influences. Social influences, cultural influences, parental influences, religious influences, etc. These are dominating factors. These influences create fear and fear deprives us of freedom, Fear makes us aware of mistakes. We commit mistakes when we are unable to accept the- full domination of unfluences. When we commit a mistake we are actually excercising freedom because we are doing away with the yoke of influences. The question of making mistakes does not arise as we are doing what our conscience tells us to do. Here we have achieved freedom. |
