Freedom first

In the movie Braveheart, the protagonist, played by Mel Gibson, said:

“I want a wife and children, and grow crops, but it’s all for nothing if you don’t have freedom.” – (William Wallace)

He was right.

If you don’t have freedom, you must ask your king for permission to marry, have children, and live your life.

If you don’t have freedom, you are likely enslaved by someone who uses you to achieve their goals.

If you don’t have freedom, you cannot fulfill your ultimate purpose:

to discover who you truly are,

to reach your full potential,

to learn the mysteries of life.

You were not born as a pet.

And you should not aspire to be one, either.

Some will argue: We’re no longer in the medieval era. Today we have more freedom—you can do whatever you want.

But try this:

Step outside your house and simply stop on the street for a few minutes and you’ll quickly see how “free” you really are.

Avoid paying your bills for a couple of months and see what happens.

Stop going to work and watch the consequences unfold.

Refuse to fulfill society’s expectations, and you’ll soon feel the pressure.

You get the point: you are not free, neither physically nor psychologically.

Chase Hughes, the behavioral expert, once said:

You will never be free until you stop trying to be admired.

That reveals another truth: today, you are enslaved even through psychological conditioning.

You chase admiration.

You seek constant external validation.

You perform like a clown in a never-ending pursuit to please an audience.

This is why I put freedom first.

To do that, you must understand where you lack freedom.

You must look deeply at your current situation.

See yourself from above,

as if you were watching a character in a video game.

Then you’ll notice who is pulling your strings.

Who has power over you.

Only once you understand this can you create a freedom plan

and execute it.

One of the things that will set you free is the truth.

Yes, the truth will make you free.

The truth has always been among the most valuable things in life.

And today, with social media and AI distorting reality, knowing the truth is more essential than ever.

Freedom and truth are inseparable.

You cannot have one without the other.

You cannot be free without truth,

and you cannot live in truth without freedom.

Your time on this earth is limited.

If you do not use it to free yourself, your life will have been wasted.

Without freedom, you do not exist as a person.
