We thought we could be safer or feel more secure by being with others and tying ourselves down with responsibilities for others. Instead of seeking self-reliance and freedom to live a life of our own choosing, we cling to the so-called security blanket under the guise of protection and security.
How do you know if you're in a cage? The fear grips you when you think of leaving your lousy job, moving out of an unhappy situation, or doing something totally different from what others expected of you. Fear is the only thing holding you back from being you!
We have forgotten that we were born free and should remain free by being independent and self-reliant. Imagine, if everyone could be independent and self-sufficient, we no longer need to care for others, except for the young, the old and the sick!
Here's an inspiring story to remind us what it means to be "born free". The movie, "Born Free" is based on a true story of a British couple who raised a lion cub named Elsa. When Elsa became fully grown, they decided to train her to live like a wild animal in Kenya rather than be put in the zoo.
Born Free
Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart
Live free, and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star
Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as a roaring tide
So there's no need to hide
Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
Cause you're born free
