To seek truth in falsehood that is filled with deceptive emotions, education is the golden key to open the shuttered mind which is full of emotional illusions. In olden days, books were prohibited for oppressed people. The people who were living as starving slaves did not need education rather than food and freedom of actions. When the slaves were freed and got freedom of actions to do anything of their own for their lives, there was a necessity for freedom of thoughts through the process of education to uplift minds in the new world. Though the oppressed people got physical freedom, they could not perform mentally as free as the oppressors. Because, their inferiority complex caged them within their minds. Still, it continues in our present age. The development of technologies supports all human beings by providing a great chance to initiate the search for knowledge regardless of who they are. The generations of oppressed people are not valuing the education to achieve the freedom of thoughts. That makes a big difference between the minds of oppressors and oppressed humans.
Without freedom of thoughts, people cannot understand what is going on around them. The laws, economy and technology change quickly and these changes affect severely to those who caged their thoughts within their slavish minds. To survive or live as autonomous human being in the world, freedom of thoughts is prominent and it should be realized by all human beings.
Physical freedom is just a ticket to enter the train of mental freedom which tours the world to acquire knowledge and progressive actions along with experiences. Freedom of thoughts can be attained by, 1. Believing on one’s own mind, 2. Learning through books rather than movies, 3. Engaging in mindful activities independently, 4. Preferring writing and reading as hobbies, 5. Coming forward to express anything in public, 6. Understanding the context before the content. When the freedom of thoughts is spreading all over the world, there will be no discrimination among human beings. Just think about Chess pieces: there are black and white pieces of army in the chess game, but their colour differences are not making any special identity to empower the pieces. i.e. The four rooks in the board have same power irrespective of black and white colour. This is the perfect example for freedom of thoughts.
Those who think freely do not discriminate people based on their caste, colour or any ascribed characteristics of the individuals. They know that freedom of thoughts is not an ascribed characteristic and it is an achieved characteristic. Freedom of thoughts begin with literacy, go through education and attain achievements. It strengthens actions of people by activating their minds to perform tasks for the societal development. “Freedom is just a choice of mind, Educate yourself for being a key to find!� Mr.V.Heymonth Kumar NOVEMBER 2020 - 026
