compliance and freedom

Resistance is futile

Obedience and anarchy, which way do we go? What law do we follow to be free? And based on what free mind do we lay down the law to follow? While we know that order is important to guarantee the future, we also want the freedom of choice, the freedom to change.

Wouldn't it be strange if the law of gravity wants the freedom to change? We would be floating one moment and stuck to the ground the next moment.

Equally strange is if we cannot walk backwards, only forward with a slight turn. There is no backward for us.

So, we go for in-between? Balance? Now that is conflicting for us. One moment we overly follow the law. The next moment, we are just lawless!

In fact, we are either resisting the given freedom to follow some wacko law, or, resisting the lawful rule to have a chaotic freedom.

I would pick the law that makes not only the most sense and follow it, but also the truth of the law that leads to the right freedom. I will have freedom within. I am free to choose so that the law is without the excessive freedom.

It is hopeless to resist one or the other. We yearn to follow something. How do we know what is the right one?

I would need to choose the law wisely. This wisdom of choice will lead to being in a lawful life living freely. I want this wisdom, this law, this freedom.
