Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
Henry David Thoreau
Ah...finally a thought to ponder besides my own! What I'm wondering is if there was a time in my own life when obedience was a smooth path...did I cross a line at some point either inside of my self or in the world around me where there was "no turning back" to the established system? Kind of reminds me of that old adage "ignorance is bliss". It's not that I wish to be ignorant. Once someones eyes are open they must deal with reality, but I do get tired of suffering.
Suffering and reality seem to be the main topics of my meditation lately. I suffer because of my disobedience to the status quo - I have for as long as I can remember. Reality allows for me to see that suffering is subjective! But does true freedom really lie in suffering, is true freedom busting through the veil and seeing clearly.
I think so! I think that true freedom comes after suffering just as a butterfly struggles from it's cocoon!
peace !
