While the nation of a billion free souls is celebrating the wonderful feel of freedom, it is worthwhile to give a thought on the concept of freedom. Charles Darwin should be a happy man now, realizing that he just had to stop his theory at a point where greed of humans was still not a game changing factor. Trust me, this variable would have made the theory a never ending painful story which made no sense, still with a great set of audience. After all, we are more interested in drama than facts.
Coming back to this concept of freedom, it has a great correlation with God. We have heard stories about them but unfortunately don't get to see or feel them. And, of course they both were invented by humans just to bring a high budget feel to the story, like that one exotic foreign location song in most of the Indian movies. It adds no value to the story, but diverts the attention of the viewers.
Are we really free? Our grand fathers who lived during the time between the British rule and the advent of credit cards have better chances of claiming to have tasted freedom. We have willfully complicated our lives so much, that the word freedom has become a factor of doubt and we keep taking and posting about it to check if it is still applicable.
We are for sure politically free from those crazy colonizers and are happy about it, not realizing that eventually every organism under the sun is free. While the rest of the organisms on earth function by one thumb rule "survival of the fittest", we the humans have complicated the equation with a plethora of variables. Survival of the richest, smartest, cutest, hottest etc., and before reaching this comparison stage, we are forced to go through class test, quarterly test, annual test and much more.
Kudos to mankind for it efforts in commoditizing freedom diligently through establishing supremacy within the same kind, based on factors such as race, color, wealth and the latest addition "number of followers". Every piece of supremacy established, gets dissolved over a period of time with a tag of freedom to it. So there are a lot more freedoms to come and let's wait and see if we are lucky enough to experience one for ourselves.
So, freedom! Yes, we are tricked :D
