Total Freedom

I have been analyzing my thoughts, feelings and actions for some time now. I've also been reading books, blogs and other articles related to spirituality and how we, as human beings, behave.

I have realized that most of our thoughts, feelings and actions are based on our perceptions of people or situations. And these perceptions are formed due to our past experiences and our social conditioning.

That's why different cultures and different people have a different sense of rights and wrongs.

In India, someone choosing to not live with their parents is something frowned upon. Whereas in most of the Western cultures, grown-up children are expected to leave their parents' home and live independently. In fact, they think something is wrong with adults who live with their parents.

So, which one of these do you think is right?

In truth, there is no right or wrong. It is what it is.

We even label people as being good or bad, judge them for behaving differently than we expect. But we all behave the way we do because of our experiences that condition us.

So, when we judge, we forget, that just like we didn't have any control over where we were born, what our circumstances were, how we were raised, others didn't either.

So, if we move beyond all the perceptions and accept everyone and everything as it is and lead our life doing whatever we want to do, loving every moment, we would be truly free.
