Freedom as a Fallacy

Freedom as a Fallacy

Have you ever considered what the concept of freedom is, what it exists as, wants to be, pretends to be, or inevitably becomes?.

When people think of freedom, they think of it as the freedom to live how they want, say what they want, defend themselves from those who may harm them, choose the God of their worship, love who they want, work where they dream, or even choose what they eat. What if I were to say that all of these are both correct and incorrect at the same time?.

Freedom in a free society is the freedom to follow the guidelines that the society deems as its own will of freedom for the majority to live safely in the confines of its own defined reality. But what about the rest?.

Those who would define the freedom to take what they want instead of buying what they can afford, where an economy itself becomes its own inevitable form of oppression as they are incapable of understanding who it would benefit, as it certainly hasn't given them much.

The freedom to bury the truth to propagate the lies they demand the rest fall in line to follow, a freedom to turn fiction into their perception of reality as a lie told often enough becomes the lie that is to be believed by those who would listen.

What about those who would choose the heir to the throne of their own heritage may be forced to mate with, instead of the freedom to love the one of their own choosing, as the choosing of the ignorant may cause the greatest amount of harm to the family that demands the legacy be passed on for generations thereafter.

How about those who may dream that others should work for them, not because of their own achievements or capabilities, but because their own self defined greatness be marveled at, worshipped, in order to have the commonwealth of society work universally so it can create what they believe is greatness such as the great Emperors of Egypt or Kings of Europe had before their time.

Perhaps it is the freedom to have a wide range of cuisine of their delicacy that is to always be given to their rich taste of gourmet while living in a world limited to the grains of their limited riches and the salts of the spices of what can what can only be procured by oneself?.

Those who may live in a system of freedom may live as freely as the rest within that systemic structure of governance, but just because they live in that system doesn't mean they dont feel oppressed. The freedom awarded by the majority exists as what the majority views freedom to be, while the freedom of the oppressed could simply just view their own oppression as a constant unless they are the majority that can rule over the rest.

In the world of light and dark freedom exists as a fallacy, and yet, so does oppression. They exist as two sides of the same coin, always existing simultaneously as one cannot exist without the other and yet society itself cant exist without either.
