Your particular idea of freedom here corresponds to the idea of a nation as a whole..... But let me tell you that even on an individual level we are never free.Our mind is always caught up in it's desires,predicaments,it's attachments and other things.Let us ask ourselves this question first that are we totally free on an individual basis??? Are we able to live life in such a way that we 'REALLY' want... Are we ever totally free of our desires and our attachments??
ReplyDeleteLet us not forget that the state of a nation will ultimately depend on the fact that whether each and every citizen is free.... But that thing is very hard to happen as we humans tend to have our own desires and ambitions...
First of all we have to be free at an individual level then only can we achieve at the level of which you are writing about...
yeah i agree with you......
