A perspective on Freedom

Freedom

How do you get from here to there? How do you stop hoping and wishing and praying something will change, when it already has..?
If you never believe that you're free, you will never live like you're free. Knowledge can be power to some extent.

There's always a difference in 'knowing' something's true and -believing what you 'know' to be true. You can argue and whine about it all you want- if I just knew how to do it, if I knew what to say, if I could only get here, I'm sure I'd make it the rest of the way...if if if if if IF! Get out of it. Quit dreaming about it, start doing something to change it.Whatever it is. I've done that a lot, and it's no way to go.
You have all the knowledge you need to survive. You'll learn more along the way , but if you never get out of that pit you're living in.. A: You'll just keep whining and never be happy--because you will never see the beauty of the great outdoors right in front of you. And B: You're own quest for knowing or wishful thinking can stop you from actually getting there. You just gotta live a little. None of this: OHhMyGoshhh, if I try GettiN' OuT.. if I get hiT with some raiiiin, thN there mIght bee A fluud...!?-...
Experiance can give you understanding of your knowledge, and if you LET it...Wisdom.

We are free. Despite our feelings and some of our circumstances, we are not controlled by a robotic God-who does not love us, who's not there to care or help us. We just have to realize we are the ones stopping ourselves from getting out of the 'hell' we're in. Instead of blaming other people for how you feel, or even God, as hard as it is, forgive them, let it go, move on. Instead of being selfish- realize you're not the only one.

I'm not trying to be ignore the fact that people do quite often misunderstand and hurt eachother, but we've come to believe we somehow deserve better than the rest of the world. And THIS is how WE should be TREATED. That's just pride, and honestly, America is one of the worst for that.
I've just been there, done it. Seen it. Heard it. Hit it. Fell....and it's not that great at all. :/
Anyway, just a thought.
