Freedom

I don't know why we used to say that we were not fee, when britishers' were here, why we still say that we are not free when someone tries to impose his decision on us. No matter what anyone may do to snatch our freedom, he would never be able to do so as it is never in his hands to do so.

Freedom is for what we fought and some of our friends gave life for. It is hard to believe but i think that we were always free. Freedom lies in the response to a stimulant, thats what makes you free.

No one can control others stimuli. You may use coercion but will you be able to change other persons' stimuli, the answer is No! Forget about controlling the reactions of humans we cant even control the reactions of animals (as far as i know), so how can we say we are not free.

All this was because we were unable to properly define the fundamental definition of freedom because of which we ourselves changed our reactions only because we were made to think we were not free.

You may use any force to change any persons' reaction but you simply cant until the other person is convinced by your coercion. Gandhiji used ahimsa as a weapon to fightback the Britishers, what is ahimsa after all, it is simply not changing your stimuli even after one is forcing you to do so.

Humans have this ability to choose their stimuli to choose their response which is what makes them different from animals and when one gives this ability of choosing between different responses to someone else then he is no longer a free person!
