With the freedom western democracy allow - its social civility, rule of law and technological advances to ease the chores of modern life, yet we are still unhappy Creatures.
We are unhappy because we chose to survive life instead of living life. We have chosen to fear life instead of embracing life... and for that reason, we remain enslaved to social pressure - ever seeking approval and constantly concerned about image.
We are captives surviving captivity. Instead of giving life to the lifeless, we choose to take it away... even from ourselves. Choosing to survive Life has left deep war-wounds across our Spirit; leaving us physically and emotionally scarred and depressed. Each day slowly becomes a repeat of the last... each task becomes energy-draining. You can almost feel your Life-force being slowly sucked from your body.
We've lose our passion for Life, now life has become merciless and without passion toward us. We're sliding out of control down a seemingly endless spiral toward boredom or death (whichever come first). We fail to change our condition because we believe that "Life is tough". We accept pervasive, restrictive policies and a passionless existence and call it freedom. Truly, we are not happy Creatures.
The Truth is, our only restrictions in Life are those we voluntarily impose upon our self. There are no limits to the human potential. The fact that we exist proves beyond doubt that all things are possible... but we restrict the possible with our limited understanding of Life; choosing instead to focus upon the negatives; failing to ever enjoy the simple pleasures living can give.
Remember, whatever we give to Life, life give back to us in abundance. ~ CR
