I Am, Above All, A Free Human

All evening I had this on my mind :

,, In other words, I am free to do as I please, you MUST be tolerant and let me do it. “ 

This seemed like… I am free to do as I please, you ARE NOT FREE to choose if you want to tolerate this or not. Well… we already have a breach of one’s basic human rights. 

Somehow, I couldn’t let go of this . To be free: isn’t this defined, above all, by letting go of  our own habits, needs and addictions ?!

And, if tolerating the ones beside me, makes me feel deprived of my freedom, somehow forced,  isn’t this meaning that I can’t unchain myself  from personal dogmas and that I am not able to perceive, accept and understand other’s point of view ?

Therefore I am asking : Where is the freedom?! 

Trapped in my own beliefs and principles, does this not mean that I would be a slave of my own mind, of my own beliefs, of my own overcomed thinking patterns ?

Isn’t it the definition of freedom itself  the autonomy from the rest of the world ? From the rest of the world and from your yesterday’s beliefs? From the yesterday’s YOU?

Day by day, I evolve . Who I am today is free to contradict the ONE I will become tomorrow, and who I will be tomorrow is free to be whatever I will feel to be.

So, I am free to be whomever I want to be, and you are free to evolve and express yourself as you feel. Even more, because I am free to see you through the mirror of my own soul, this is an additional reason to understand that the only freedom that I really need is the freedom towards me! And being tolerant to others  is nothing else than a proof of a good, healthy relationship with myself and that I am indeed a FREE HUMAN! 

Free to see , understand and tolerate you.
