Manufactured freedom.

(Photo by Guille on flickr.com)

It is a part of our genetic code to need to be free. The question of freedom arises at least once in one's life. It will be a question of finding freedom from the possessions that consume us. We will look outside ourselves to search for this fictional land of freedom. Our need will materialize but only out of our desperation. We will be in the land of Manufactured Freedom and we will be satisfied. But to look outward only keeps us from liberty's authenticity. It is from within us that we find freedom. It is only from within that we can strip ourselves from what binds us- the norms and propaganda of society. Once we search within, we will then be free from all that holds us in place.
