Everyone Wants Freedom

Freedom is the existence of a human being. Without freedom no one can exists. When we have no freedom we feel dead, however, there is always a way towards freedom from what we want. We are generally stuck and are fearful to take a step towards freedom. True freedom comes from within only while others may help us to set free. We have to take that decision.

When we observe the animals in the zoo, we feel that they really need the freedom of staying the jungle where they can run all the way and drink the healthy and fresh water of the river. However, they remain stuck in the zoo bounded by some human desires. Afterall, it is our desire and not the need to see the animals in the zoo. We call it entertainment and for them it becomes imprisonment. Even then everyone likes to see the animals in the zoo mostly for some educational purposes, research purposes and for entertainment.

Same way is for human being. Sometimes, we get stuck in the zoo for the sake of some desires and we should learn how to overcome those desires. Desires imprison us just like the animals in the zoo. A desire is definitely not the same as the need. Everyone wants freedom from these desires.
