On the Right to Be in the World as You Are. Easy Questions to Ponder Upon
<p>More often than not, we take it for granted that we live in a free world and that we are free people.</p>
<h2><strong>But is that true?</strong></h2>
<p>Can you really express your truest self on a daily basis?</p>
<p>The capacity to fully express yourself, to speak up fearlessly as a child does, and a sincere approach to all situations is the essence of what we call personal freedom.</p>
<p>Confidence in your right to oppose anyone’s opinion, confidence to confront the status quo without holding back, to firmly step aside from what does not naturally align with your heart – that’s what I call freedom.</p>
<h2><strong>But all the while we want to be free</strong>,</h2>
<p>our first and foremost interest is to keep ourselves alive and safe.</p>
<p>And does this endeavour of staying alive in a harshly capitalist society, does it leave room for our natural need for freedom?</p>
<p>In what measure does survival in our era imply an inherent game of compromise?</p>
<p>Today everything is about the market. But how often do we sell ourselves on this market? We think we are free because we choose to enslave ourselves.</p>
<p>How often do we twist our natural expression to what the market demands? How on earth can we even remain in contact with ourselves in all this madness?</p>
