existential freedom

Inhibitions
Call it prohibitive
To self or by society?

Existential freedom
Is it real
I often wonder

Follow the heart
Tune into impulse
feel no regrets

carefree abandon
The radiance of a thousand suns
Filtering through
stirring the soul

Unexplored intuitions
Unfulfilled desires
Wave after wave
crashing intruders
of the mind..

People moving all the time
in a perfectly straight line
I just want to curve away
stop and enjoy the music

Endless outcomes
Innumerable possibilities
Unknown ,unforeseen
I have said too much already.

Its a good topic on which the whole world is throwing lights on. But i must say, the EXISTENTIAL FREEDOM as you say has something to do with the fear going against society. But wherever the freedom has no alternative, it has to be levied.

Hello Identiti. U kinda got my point right. Lets put it this way. There would b an alternaitive. Its upto the folks to find it for themselevs. U never know when you're gonna this world. So might as well exercise your freedom to the max. But again not at the cost of another's freedom.

extremely natural instictive actions lead to a rise in the general levels of entropy, case in point the great depressions of past and the PRESENT !! so for self preservation human kind and society form thought processes and ground rules to control the natural rise of entropy accompanying every purely natural process hence absolute freedom is not possible for any species to be successful i.e. as a corollary to Darwin society ground rules and amount of control excercised are key to species survival...

Hmm. It sounds very good - it would make a great song if its set to music. I can imagine someone dancing to this one!
