Today while reading something in the office….in between freedom and compulsion got struck me….anyway what do you think about the freedom and compulsion?

Well as a commoner …oblivious reply could be… those two words are opposites. Isn’t it?

But think little deep by adding some rational quotient……take your own time….probably you might have something different answer!

To solve the enormous problems crushing the world today, we must clarify our mental confusion.

We must acquire a philosophical perspective. In essence, freedom and compulsion are one.

Let me give you a simple illustration.

In our routine, we know traffic lights restrain our freedom to cross a street whenever we wish.

But this restraint gives us the freedom from being run over by a truck.

Similarly another paradigm,

If you were assigned to a job and prohibited from leaving it, it would restrain the freedom of your career. But it would give you freedom from the fear of unemployment.

Whenever a new compulsion is imposed upon us, we automatically gain a new freedom. The two are inseparable. Only by accepting total compulsion we can achieve total freedom.

I think right now, I know I’m really stretching myself as hard as I can….after all I want my dream school... now here too it might sound like compulsion from my side….but you know this compulsion will raise my performance and eventually helping me to get freedom….yes, freedom in the form of my dream….after all what more will be one wanted when he gets what he dreamt of!
