Freedom ??

Was in english lesson today and the teacher started an article about freedom. Somehow or rather this topic got hot because it actually attracts the attention of the gang sitting behind me ... My teacher actually asked our class to share their opinions and stuffs like that after reading a passage from the newspaper and shockingly, this is the first time she's able to control the class .. Everyone sat down on their place and listened attentively and after that, some people came in front and gave their sharing on "freedom which parents gave , enough or not at all" Everything started with alex's sharing and well, thats the starting of everything. What amazes me is that even Dinesh came up in front and share about his 'truancy' everyday and why he actually did that ...

Most of the people claim that freedom is earned and we must work for it. Some also claim that they have infinite freedom because their parents allow them to do things which they want. I actually wanted to go in front and talk about it but sadly, the bell rang. Saddening case .. Thats the main reason why am I actually writing here .. As what people always say, a blog is to express and not impress .. Whatever i write here is what i feel and i don't expect to brainwash anyone or to rebut anyone's definition of freedom ..

Well, what many people say today is that parents don't give any freedom to their child. Saying that they doesn't allow him/her to do what they want and always put full control on their child and do not listen to what the child wants. Everything is being planned earlier on by the parent without even asking about what the child actually wants. Just as all chinese drama shows .. Even their marriage is pre-arranged by the parent. This is what they call their life to be .. Yea, frankly, it's really very miserable to be like this. Honestly, they are still parents who are like this. Well, is that what we call "no freedom" ??

Lets go to another area of topic , there are also people who claim that they have infinite amount of freedom where they are allowed to go wherever they want, do whatever they want to and also to be able to decide on anything which they want to do. Parents are always by their side, supporting them in whatever they want to do and giving all choices to the child. These area the poeple who actually claim themself to have infinite amount of freedom and they aren't pressure at anything at home. It's a life of their own and things they do will not be objected by parents. Again I ask, is this what we call "infinite freedom" ??

Well, in my personal point of view, those 'terms' up there isn't anything for me. In my opinion, everyone have their freedom to do anything they want. It's just whether you wanna use it or to let others to grasp hold on it, thus controlling you all the way. Disagree with what I say ?? Well, lets have an example ...

A kid wanted to go out of house to his friends' birthday party in the evening. He asked his parents whether he is able to go or not. His parents disagrees and do not let him to leave the house claiming that it's too late. Is this no freedom because his parents' doesn't allow him to do so?? NO !! Yes, his parents said that they do not allow him to go out. But, the child alone have the rights and have the freedom to go out of house that night. What can the parent do if their son insist of going out and just went off just like that ?? The answer is nothing .. Everyone have freedom to do what they like and what they want ... Of course, the things that would happen after that is another story because with every single action you take, there must be consequences on that particular person , good or bad ..

Our life is always in our hands and we can't just say that we dont have the freedom to do this because someone is controlling our life. I do believe that some things are fixed from the start. But at the same time, i believe that things can change in any way we want if we want it to change. Everything have a limit and the limit doesn't bar us from going through it. It's just that after breaking through it, we'll have the face the consequences. This is something I hold on for a very long time and finally, I have the courage to voice it up...


Nothing is always correct nor nothing is always wrong ...


There's no such thing that you did something wrong and that particular thing is a definite wrong ... nor can we say that we did something right and thats 100% correct. It's like what my Sej teacher used to say whatever it takes for you to complete it doesn't matter .. As long as in the end, mission accomplished and the job is well done .. It's already good enough .. There's no such thing such as a "guidebook of good morality" or a "guidebook of correct ways to accomplish goals" but there's only GUIDELINES to do things in a proper manner. We do not have to follow guidelines in depth but as long as it works... It's alright for me ...

In conclusion of my post ...
I believe everyone have their own infinite freedom in whatever they do ... Whether they are doing it right or wrong, it doesn't matter much because at the end of the day, they are the ones who would be facing the consequences or the great achievements ... There's no "law of success" but there's a "guideline to success".
Well, with this ...
I end this time's post ^^
Kudos ~~
