A man who has risen above small words, which appear to the general public as something to be handled carefully, a man for whom words such as penitence, self pity, antipathy, sympathy, fear, revenge, anger, hate, love, who thinks that dying for someone, living for someone hold no meaning at all is a free man in the true sense of the word.He is free of all the binds of the worldly desires, he is free of the shackles that altruism bestows one with, he neither expects anything of anyone, nor is anything expected of him by anyone. The former demeans a huge range of words on its course, words that usually arise due to unfulfilled or fulfilled expectations, words such as frustration towards someone, malice towards someone, a loss of anticipation of trust from someone wouldn’t anger you towards the person when he lacks it, and it definitely not arise a want of revenge in you, the result? You are set free of the evils these words have to offer. Then if you do not expect anything of someone and the person does something of your benefit it wouldn’t again affect you cuz you would have done that even if the other person was living or not. You aim at being self sufficient and hence would denounce any help from anyone else, you hold no respect or love for the work done by someone other on your behalf instead it'll only inspire you to work harder and work for your own-self, rise above not other but your own present value. Your respect is then not vested in others but in your own self, you are your only competition, your value is defined and measured by you alone and by standards defined by you only.For such a person loss is his incapability to provide himself with something, his inability to produce something he desires, his success are his creations, fruits of his labor, results of his desires, assuaging of his needs by his own work. His need to cater to his desires is his only motive, this is what sits in the driver seat of his life car, such a man cultivates only one habit, a habit to live as he desires, live the way he wants to irrespective of what his acquaintances say over his adopted life style, for they do not hold a say, he doesn’t recognizes their right to even one second of his life leave aside decisions of it. It is for this man that love holds its true meaning untarnished by the definitions or taboos provided by the world today, unperturbed by any form of sacrifice be it self or immolation of someone else, this man loves for himself, its not in the nature of his love to live for his lover or die for that matter. He still lives according to his own wishes; he would still do what he wants be it for the better of his love or for worse.Such a man would never indulge in the lowest degree of acts namely "self pity", he never cries over his loses, for loses hold a totally different meaning to him, for whatever he recognizes as his own is self made, he can never lose his thought process. He never sits in a corner to reconcile himself, moving on is his true nature, no calamity holds him in his place for his nature is to apply his only weapon and find a way through.
Such a man is truly free and the word freedom is analogous to his way of life, but unfortunately we are moving in a direction totally opposite to it, we are making our future generations more of a slave to a non existent "society", this slavery if however remains unchecked will not only cause a stagnation of development in all fields but may also prove to be requiem for the development we have achieved hitherto.
