We never can be totally free or liberated in life, and what we call liberalism is in books, in speeches of political leaders, monarchs and presidents and ministers. We are never free, for as long as we are alive we want to maintain life, and we are really afraid lest life gets threatened. Of course right from the primordial moments of life down the strait of history, a hidden fear is rampantly gnawing at us and we do not know when we get consumed by fate.
In babyhood fear lurks around us and inside us, and the real fear nibbling us is the fear of insecurity and that is why we get compelled to obey our parents thinking that they are the providers of bread and butter. Grownups too are kind of gnawed at by a series of fear, for they want love and lest their lovers desert them, and in old age it multiplies, for we want to be cared for, and cannot live without depending upon others. When we have to depend on others for livelihood there is no freedom at all.

As a national we have to depend on security forces, and this dependence costs u tremendously. We know all over the world that cops are unruly and strip many of their freedom, yet we are overly dependent on them. When we depend on others we become subservient to the authorities, and as such we become enslaved.

Freedom thus is a misnomer, something true in theory but not in actual fact. There is fear everywhere. It is embedded in our DNA and we cannot be free of it. We are programmed / conditioned to be fearful and we cannot undo or deprogram ourselves, and it is inundated in our corpuscles.

At times I feel that fear can never be pull up it. Even in the wilderness we cannot be fearless and life is in danger all the time. In society we can think about anarchism thinking that with this we do not have to be submissive to any authority and thus we can live in a world of freedom.
But the mighty will have predominance over the weak.

And Darwinism comes in with the same age-old cliché – survival of the fittest. That consolidates the fact that the only way towards survival is to strengthen oneself physically and intelligently.
