When I was very young, young enough to know I am not that old to talk about many things in public, I never knew how I would travel all the way to what I am now, just by basing on the factor that there is no one to judge you other than yourselves. Many a times, I have seen myself and many of my closest colleagues, depending on one or other thing to parametrize themselves to something else. And I got to know we could never be free, free from anything around us. We need them all the time. We need friends to be with us all the time, we need parents to make sure we aren’t alone, we need boss to make us earn and learn, and we need everything to be something else. And when I hear this stupid thought of being free, I couldn’t stop going back to these lines written long back in my childhood. To recite them, “every one of us is like a bead in the chain of climbing mountaineers, to show your strength don’t pull hard you might bring down the whole men above you and never fail to respond to the pull from the men below ,you might be an extra load to them. The balance makes the climb beautiful and successful”. So we are never a free man. You have to answer every pull to get and stand up to every push to receive. In lies the real happiness. The real happiness. Because the moment you think you are free, you are just a breathing stone. The real judge is you. The rest are just your parameters.
