The Absoluteness Of Freedom
One is free or not… Free to notice or not.
People often associate the word Freedom with “free lunch,” which implies that Freedom is free and implies little to no personal responsibility at all. Such a consensus is misguiding and even fallacious.
Being the receiving hand is always enjoyable, but the problem is that every time we accept something free of charge, we create a metaphysical obligation to return a favor, even if it is not evident in the first place.
And why?
Simply because Nature endlessly gives away without any discrimination. That’s what we need to emulate to foster peace and abundance at our own level of awareness. When materialism stands in the way, we act out of self-interest instead of genuinely caring without anticipating any reciprocation.
Acts of generosity will always come back to us daily in one form or another.
Our habit of controlling outcomes over the ages has caused civilization to lose all synchronicity with Life. No matter which angle we choose to look from, the patterns are clear and indicate that all livepaths tell the same story. Losing pace with our organic purpose brings about drama and also trauma. Modern psychology has not yet acknowledged this and won’t any time soon because profiting from emotional misery gives many a well-paid career.
We cannot beat Nature’s serendipity.
Universal Laws tell us that energy is continuously recycled, but the “recycling effect” doesn’t operate at the same “speed” for everybody. This is because the luckiest are on duty to help the less fortunate. Although education does not teach this, that is how it should be. In our current competitive framework, the luckiest are lauded and encouraged to pursue their individualistic aims.
Nature works the opposite way. Society is constructed in a way that is anti-life, therefore. Each of us is key to another being’s welfare. And helping one another optimizes each being’s freedom. In that sense, Freedom is absolute because this is a Law we must comply to. Competition does not reward compassion but convinces many of us that it is possible to profit from it.
Of course, intent is a determining factor, but it remains arguable because intent without awareness does not sail far, either. We may want to dream about freedom daily, but societal disruptions and conflicts are always the consequences of seeking to escape reality.
Here is Humanity, back to square one!
The topic could easily be turned into a 200-page book but that is not our goal today.
Everything is the result of complex synergy, which evidences that the concept of a “free lunch” does not exist. So does Freedom. Freedom depends on caring about Life, but society nonetheless teaches us that “freedom” is available if one is smart enough to generate free lunches!

Think of all these freebies we like to get in the so-called decadent West, then ”now” look at the world situation. Does that speak volumes enough?
There lies the popularity of socialism, but usually, people quickly forget that taxation is behind any “free lunch” (aka social programs) and go back in the line for additional “free lunches”, thinking that being taxpayers gives them extra entitlements. Capitalism does that too for corporations, business leaders, and lawmakers are continually showered with perks of all kinds. For those at the top, slave labor is also a form of “free lunch”
The big picture tells a different story, and the realization will be painful: “free lunches” are the enemies of Freedom. But as long as monetarism exists, getting rid of them is a fantasy.
In a coercive environment, spontaneity remains in exile. A materialist premise works in reverse as our egotic lifestyles pandemic disrupts the equilibrium. Only benevolence offers synchronized exchanges, which makes the system more resilient and flexible.
The concept of Freedom is absolute as it doesn’t tolerate any game-playing and requires the full comprehension of the “law of giving”.
If unwilling to wake up every day ready to do some community work or simply help a neighbor, a free society will never exist.
Never. One is free or not. Free to notice or not.
And Freedom without remaining in symbiosis with the environment simply cannot be.
Freedom is absolute!
