Default Re: The Freedom

We must believe in free will.
We have no choice.


- Sri Swami Sivananda



(...This really makes me thinking...Once, few year ago, in an art-project, i wrote a sentence/verse: "Freedom you need, but from the free will, not from anything else, kid". Every time I see these words, or recall them, I am asking my self why did I wrote this, actually, what was the process inside me that pushed me to express it...and I have no answer. I mean: what if it is true, if we really have no choice? Every "must", as in Sri Sivananda`s quote, makes me to have a resistance...I mean: it is a paradox - free will and having no choice?! But, I am noticing a tiny, but essential irony in his words, even a kind of a bitter feeling, i would say. I can almost see how his eyebrow is significantly rising up while he is telling this, in the past. Hmmm... he touched the Very Nerve, I believe...)
