I'm reminded of a Malayalam film song which says that the tree is a burden to the earth, the branches are burdens to the tree, the leaves are burdens to the branches...
ReplyDeleteWhat if we look at it the other way? The tree is a blessing, the branches and leaves are all blessings!
Well, I'm not a naive positive thinker. I'm a smiling cynic.
Very true Tomichan. We need to be optimistic and embrace everything with a pleasant temperament. Thanks for sharing your views.
ReplyDeleteRally, I feel the same...freedom is myth.. we are all prisoners ....prisoners of this society !
ReplyDeletewe all are prisoners in life in many ways.................
ReplyDeleteIn each case, the reverse is also true - Master is a prisoner of servant, Party is a prisoner of minister, etc. Of course, FREEDOM IS A MYTH.

some imprisonment are not so unwanted, we have to agree.. let us be prisoners to truth rather than prisoners to prejudices.. and we have our elbow spaces even inside the prison.. we can enjoy those smaller liberties... if I am locked up inside a dark room and I have a little candle with me, why should not I light the candle and be happy as long as there is brightness... Reminded of Edmond Dantes, the Count of Monte Christo in his prison.. Ultimately he came out, is it not?
