We all want to experience freedom, the absence of
restrictions. To experience restrictions can be highly frustrating. Restrictions
tie up our energies and we feel hindered in our endeavors. We cannot express
ourselves as fully as we would like to.
However, unlimited freedom is also not good, because we are
then not forced to put up our energies against the other energies we encounter
in daily life. For example, we may feel that we are the greatest athlete that ever
existed, without verifying this fact by competing against other athletes in our
chosen field. In a sense, we would be deluding ourselves with fantasies of
grandeur.
In life we must find a middle ground between freedom and
restrictions. Too much of either is not beneficial to us and our innate
abilities. But, we must have the freedom to express ourselves as fully as
possible. The only obstacles that we encounter along the way should be
challenges that assist us in furthering our talents for our own good, as well
as the good of the entire world.
