A person that's free is someone who's fully conscious that time solves itself. Time is always passing to the benefit of the free.
Because situations are always temporary. In fact, most people that end up shackled by life situations are often people who are impulsive, decisive, who act instantly without enough reflection.
The careless is always an accident waiting to happen, and while accidents can somehow be liberating, only the person that is reasonably careful can live on, hopefully in a state of freedom.
Because freedom, also knowned as liberty, is a state of being and a state of mind. It's waiting for the right moment to act, it's observing life's patterns, it's ignoring anger and impulses, it's living in the moment while observing how the moment keeps unfolding.
Freedom also brings forward the power of intention, which precedes all creation, as well as those things brought by chance. Because before living as a free person, you need to intentionally do so.
Therefore freedom is an act of faith, faith in time itself and faith in a grander order of things, in which careful intentional choices mostly create favourable outcomes and saves from many hardships.
Unfortunately, while free living brings lots of positive outcomes to those fortunate enough to be faithful, it also worsen the life of the unfaithful, which are those not placing their faith in a potential for freedom.
Because freedom seekers know fewer borders and can enjoy life in a way that is much less restrictive than the life of others, their actions often resonate negatively upon the life of the unfree, which instead of trying to use time in their favor and profit from it, will try to bring down the free.
Reasons for not adhering to free living are numerous. Not knowing about such potential would be the main one. Being under some kind of outside influence would be the runner up. Not listening to its inner compass would be common to all shackled folks.
The overall result of the imbalance between free people and shackled people is the world we live in. While becoming free can be incredibly easy, fear must first be conquered, and time must pass.
Trying to elevate everyone else to free living should be the main concern of free people. But the benefits some free people get from being able to exploit shackled people are so great, most free people decide to keep it to themselves, until power, money and greed brings back the shackles, ousting freedom.
Freedom is a state of being that sits on top of a superior order of things. Superior to what we already know, as in more elevated than anything previously, as this is our common evolved destiny, away from fabricated fears. Only once all free will we be able to individually and collectively live better. When? Time will tell.
