Absolute Freedom?

Do we human beings have a right to absolute freedom? This is a question that only true introspection can answer. Yes we do have this right and yet we dont have this right!

Before explaining why we have this right I will first tell why in my belief we donot have this right. Absolute freedom is a utopian concept and absolute freedom implies infinite restrictions on us because every other human being has the same right and his right unequivocally infringes on ours. Leave alone as a right, it cannot exist even as a concept!

However, we are constantly living in two worlds, both intricately intertwined. An outer world that is accepted as real and an inner world that is convincingly imaginary. This imaginary inner world is possibly the utopian entity where we have absolute freedom. We have undeniably, a right to absolute freedom here.

Freedom of every form in the outer world needs to acquiesce the freedom of others and is a responsiblity than a privilege. Inner freedom is absolute even though it is often constrained by the impressions craved by the outer world. We should accept the irony that we humans can make an effort to realise absolute freedom only in our inner space and not elsewhere.
