If you are not willing to find your voice and speak your mind, then it’s up to some other asshole to tell you how you feel. By choosing not to express yourself, you are effectively waiving your first amendment right. You have as a citizen of this nation the absolute right to say anything you wish. It pains me to see the lost and silent masses of this generation. I am trying to encourage people to become more vocal, so that they can defend their values and beliefs. It is important to express yourself through speech. The real wars are fought with words, not weapons. If you are not going to take yourself seriously, make a stand and speak your mind, what is the reason for your existence? No one will believe in you if you don’t first believe in yourself. It’s embarrassing to notice that most people are afraid to say what’s on their minds. We all have the same thoughts and feeling, so there is no reason to hold back on something you want to say. I feel ashamed to think that this American society feels so downtrodden that they can’t do anything. We are all geniuses and are capable of ding anything we desire. Something must happen to make people aware of their brilliance before we can actually be free. The revolution must begin from within, to reach the minds before the physical turning. It is as if we need to activate the canyons of our minds together; we need to unite and realize that we are much stronger standing together than being on our own. The real revolutions are never wars, but revolutions in the mind. Not I or anyone else can make you become free, you must free yourself. People grow to love the very chains that restrain them; they use their fear as a security blanket. Finding freedom is the most essential thing for every person on Earth to accomplish. We are bred for humanity, and thrust into society to demonstrate our character. Parents try to give their children structure in an attempt to control them; they dictate everything that happens in their lives, coddling them. Then when the child is free to leave, their friends start where the parents left off. Friends also try to pursue you to behave a certain way. A true friend is one who will let you take charge of your life and who will let you be yourself. Often times your friends expect from you the very same thing your parents do. A true friend should never judge your lifestyle and decisions. We need to turn on and accept the responsibility as the bearers of this world’s future. We must aim to become the change we wish to see in society. There is absolutely nothing stopping us from achieving all of our desires, the key in our minds. We all share a sacred bond inside our very essence, it is time for us to rise and announce our freedom. Together we can have a positive impact on how we live our lives. We all have the same needs and desires. We need food, water, oxygen, shelter and clothing. All of our desires fall into three categories, the holy trinity: Sex, drugs and Rock and Roll. Aldous Huxley detailed in his book The Doors of Perception That the urge to transcend one’s self by means of chemical changes and through sexual intercourse are principle appetites of the soul. We cannot escape the wonder of all the earthly sacraments we have at hand. These substances let us view life from an alternate perspective so that we can have a better understanding of life. There is nothing more important than finding freedom in life. We are as free as the wind; we have the power to make this any even more beautiful place to live than it already is. We will be forever chasing perfection in a glorious struggle of infinite proportions. We shall use our time in the wisest of ways, and bring on immense changes to society at large. We shall come to our senses together and overcome the overbearing stigma that keeps us chained to our strife. It is imperative that we make decisions and take every chance possible. If you pass up on your opportunities then you will never know how things might have been. You will only know life how it happened to you, so make sure you are taking every chance you see to become successful. Every action perpetuates itself throughout the entire universe for eternity and beyond. The ripple of the butterfly effect is felt by every living thing. Everything you ever need comes from inside yourself. People search their whole live for something sacred in the world, failing to realize that you must find something sacred inside yourself. There is no hiding place from The One, this “God” we speak of. There are no failures in life; every one succeeds at what they must do in order for the universe to function. Everyone is united by the bonds that make us human. It is the principle of infinite perception that causes us to get along, even when things seem chaotic. We have it both ways, although we’re afraid to admit to it. There is nothing more inspiring than realizing that we all have unlimited potential and are capable of anything. Nothing is impossible; we have the tools to shape the world into anything we want it to be. Whoever commands the past controls the future. In our present time, we will stop at nothing to become who we wish to be; we are born being who we want ourselves to be. Fear is the irrational sensation of looming suspense and peril. There is nothing to fear, as history is simply running its course. Change is constantly occurring in an almost imperceptive fashion. That is the illusion that we are all exposed to everyday. The real work is done behind the curtain of the Earth, which we use as our stage. We learn our lessons everyday, time and time again. Each experience is a proverb from which to live your life. We live in one constant moment of lucid déjà vu; all of this has already happened. We are frozen in a place and moment in time, the eternal present. We constantly repeat things that have already been said, and often times we even repeat ourselves. Everything that has ever happened has already been prophesized; it’s easy to predict the future when you’re living in the past. This is ancient history; all we are doing is bridging the gap from the present to the future. We have inherited great responsibilities and power. We possess the world’s mystery and spirit. Life is one singular connection to other people and all other living entities. Life is about feeling good, if you don’t feel good, you need to rectify the situation you are in somehow. You control what you perceive reality to be, so there is no reason for you to feel like you are being held back. Use all your time to your advantage and all will be fine. Our main desire in life is to achieve sexual gratification. Everything we do is an attempt to copulate with other members of our species. Sex is required to populate and to relieve extreme tension. The release we feel from sexual intercourse is needed to keep us balanced; we need to fulfill our healthy sexual appetite. Long period without sex can amount to strong feelings of depression and worthlessness. It is not the intercourse itself that is the most pleasing; it is the intimacy and affection from your partner that makes it special. We crave the attention and admiration from our lovers at all times. The greatest life is that that is full of love and compassion for the existence of life itself. Every thought, action and idea should be toward the reformation of our current society. We are the eyes of the world and the voice of God. We are the continuation of things that were left behind. We are standing on the shoulders of the giants that came before us, there is nowhere to go but up. This is the new dawn, we shall turn the world toward what it needs to become. There is no time to waste, every moment must count. There’s beauty in everything, and by nature everything is the combination of itself and its opposite. This makes everything’s existence to be of the utmost importance. We will come to accept everyone as they are despite any lifestyle one may choose. We are all on the road to great pleasure and success; we shall not fail. We are all searching for the freedom that has already found us. I’ll leave you with a very serious, very spiritual survey.

Meaning refers to the content of a sentence or other defined syntactical structure having an implicit subject-predicate form. 'Your life' is a subject form with no predicate. 4. What does “freedom” mean to you? "Four walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage." I do not mean to contradict that ancient, honoured sage. But walls of stone and iron bars, when placed in right relation -- If that don't make a prison, man, it's a hell of an imitation! (Author unknown) "My friends from the prison, they ask unto me, How good, how good does it feel to be free? And I answer them most mysteriously, Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?" -- Dylan 5. What are your passions? Someone just stood up and yelled, "Sex, drugs, rock and roll!"

YOU are THE MAN, I like your style, except it was I that was Krisna. I was the Oracle at Delphi, Socrates, Lao Tsu, and Buddha to name a few.
1. Who are you? I am everything. My perception of an individual self is a confusion and a lie. Each of us is all that exists, the all-pervading self. 2. How do you wish to see yourself in the future? As God. 3. What does your life mean? My life, indeed all our lives, are an illusion masking the true reality of all existence as God. 4. What does “freedom” mean to you?
