What it Means to be Free

Liberty means that freedom has taken on a whole new meaning in the hearts of many Singaporeans since Singapore's independence. When we recall nostalgia for the independence of the country, we intend to shake the flag and may sing one or two patriotic songs in negotiations. As we do every year. However, patriotism is more avant-garde than ever. Conversation about the strengths and pitfalls of the free society creates hopeless hope.

When thinking about what freedom means, I must think what freedom is meant to mean. I understand freedom as self-determination. That means I and I have the power to decide my way of life if I have freedom. I approached my thirties in the absence of children and when I was unmarried, I noticed that it was time to decide how to spend the rest of my life. I do not think that working alone to "earn a living" (reading: working for the life) is the only way.

The freedom that we inherited from enlightenment means to fill my taste freely. I will buy what I want. Consume what you want. Live what you want. We believe that these preferences represent the true core of our deepest self, purely blinking unconditional will. If there is no restriction on preferences, reservations or actions that fulfill the restriction, this self is "freedom". At the moment, the left and right of the political range completely agree that we can prove everything with the name "give people what they want".

For most of us, freedom means acting freely according to our wishes. Freedom means not being influenced from the outside. Freed means to get what you want when you want it. If a person is free, he wants to eat ice cream in Bali every Sunday, he can do it. But how many of us can we call them really free? How many people can eat ice cream in Bali? Not much. We are all captured in some way. In Hausrich Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche talked about the transformation of the soul. He said that there is the possibility that our soul and ourself may be in the four provinces of camels, lions, children, and the Uber Mens. We all started with camels, became lions, and finally became children of The Aboveman. Most of them start with camels because they are burdened by others in the sand of life throughout their lifetime. They began with camels, but they are still camels. As camels, they sat down to accept social rules. The camel is a voluntary slave as it is, so there is little personal freedom.
