If we learn to comprehend the ideas of attaining the results we wish to procure; we must first understand what it is exactly that we want. There is an idea which has been circulating for the past few years, based on the idea of a ‘Secret’ which has even been created into a documentary. It outlines the idea that if we focus our thoughts, and allow these thoughts to attain the most contained hold of our will and of our minds, that the result will be exactly as we would wish. A great hindrance of this ideology is simply that it cannot do the impossible; for it holds that word “Impossible” as a defined block which it teaches as a stable and quite finite thing. Although the ideas of this mindset is very limiting, it can teach the basic fundamentals of what we are working with; we must take it further than the impossible if we wish for any true result.
We must first allow ourselves to completely obliterate the word ‘Impossible’ from our minds; as there are no impossibilities when we direct all the power of our world. With saying such a thing as that, we may feel the idea that it is either too big a venture to step forward upon; or that simply we require a hindrance of all that we are, to humble and preserve what we are. At the timely occurrence of when this ‘changing’ has begin to shape our lives, we will no longer require the shackles which bind us to rules, or anything which may hold us back. As we grow and take upon ourselves the shroud of this change; we will have grown far beyond the petty indulgences of a limited life, and no required rule will exist. Imagine if you can the idea that all the world knew right from wrong; that it required no punishment for rule breaking, as no punishment could occur greater than the guilt felt by committing such an act; which would cause even in the smallest degree, a person to fall inwards upon themselves with such contempt that they would spend all of their days making up for their wrong. In such a world we would need no rule, for each person would rule over their own destiny; much in the same way that most people try to do today, yet ambition of acceptance in our society has deeply clouded what most see or do. People believe they are free because of the ability to make choices, this is a path of ignorance which our society has lain simply out for us to follow; it exists so we will feel content with being ruled over, since we feel that at certain times it may appear that we have a choice.
Society in truth does not allow any choice to be made; if it did then we would have people living their lives to any degree they would wish; their dreams and ambitions would come true, and society would be ruined. The truly free mind can administer a vast array of sensations and ambitions in unison to achieve its goals; it needs nor has a limit to the extent it is connected to.

AB1×3- You’ve lost me with this submission. There are so many qualifiers and ambiguities that I have no idea what this piece even says anymore.
I tried. I went through and tried to diagram each sentence. I think I understand the overall theme and direction of this, but your actual words lead me into a knot of chaos.
I also think that your conclusion is appalling: Society does not allow free will?
We all possess free will, even those who live under oppression, and it’s the 7 billion small decisions per day that we each make which determines our aggregate society. This is why society pulls us in a hundred directions at once. You make it sound like there is a Dark Lord of Society who rules us from above with an iron fist. In actuality, we do this to ourselves.
Your last paragraph… well, how can I respond? I have no idea what it even said!
Are you saying that people are free to ultimately live whatever life they choose, just because they think so? I’d like to be an astronaut who skis the Alps when I’m not otherwise “dating” super-models. What is wrong with such a wish?
What’s wrong is that I don’t live in my head– I live in a real world where there are other people. There are 7 billion people on Earth who get a shot at competing with my hopes and dreams. I might lose my date with Heidi Klum to somebody else along the way.
I’m sorry if I sound hyper-critical but I was not able to understand this submission and was turned-off by it’s conclusion.
I hope that you will continue to write and post your ideas here, and comment back as well! If I misunderstood any portion of this, then feel free to tell me about it!
And also have a great day being you!
I don’t know about that…
I mean think about the reason why rules were established in the first place. I am not sure how one would grow if they lived in a place where everything is absolutely good. I mean how would one even know what is ‘good’ if they don’t have another to compare it to. I believe it’s that comparison that makes ones realizes mistake, and etc…
I mean there’s a difference with someone telling you or teaching you, then you ‘experiencing’ it.
What kind of life would that be? The fact that we have different things to choose from is ‘freedom’ itself. To walk run across a moving car or wait until it passes?
The world must have once been like that…where there were no rules, or everything became ‘an eye for an eye’ an equality state, no expectation when it comes to crimes.
We can never have an absolute ‘equal’ world because we are all different. We all want different things; we accept and view things different. This is mentally, socially, and physically.
Unless we were all alike and robot, like maybe in 1984…where we all the same, inside and out…then I don’t see that happening…
I believe there’s a reason why we have come this far, and to live in a world where we each ‘rule’ ourselves…
If we all did want we wanted, I’m not sure where the world would be. What would be learned from that except how to treat, serve, and love ourselves? What about the people around you?
Soon as you start loving someone else (could be any type of relationship), your mind, heart, and soul wants to be good to that person…
Where do they fit in there, if everything you do, you do for you?
I mean who in their right mind would stay with someone who just wants to please themselves?
You can’t have one without the other. Having a world with just ‘good’ people is not going to get anyone anywhere. What is that person truly learning or experiencing? How can they understand the true value of something unless they have something else to compare it to and think… oooh is one is much better….?
Society in truth does not allow any choice to be made; if it did then we would have people living their lives to any degree they would wish; their dreams and ambitions would come true, and society would be ruined.
I think society allows us some choices. We have come a long way from where the world used to be.
Every day we have choices, whether it be little one such walking up to go to work or calling in sick…are those not free choices?
You are posting your idea right now…is that now free choice? Society we, ‘you’ live in is allowing you to post your idea and let others view, regardless if they accept it or not. Is that not free choice?
Do you think you would have been able to do that back in the days? Think of all the things that changes…we as human could still improve, we have much improvement to do, but at the moment I think, compare to before we certainly have much choices.
What do you mean any degree they want?
That is something I would say to be careful with (and I actually wonder if that’s what you meant?).
What if someone ambition is to be a mass murder… should they be allow living that life? What about the people the person is going to kill and they don’t want to be killed, should there not be a sort of punishment to protect those people?
I mean soon as those people are killed, aren’t their ambition and goals to live gone? And if you stop that mass murder, is his ambition gone too?
Nothing in life is 100% guarantee except the concept of the unguaranteed… (lol does that make sense?)
Everything is a balance in life. You can’t have a society that is allow to do anything they want. That would never work. People are not the same. We are all different, with different mind and different goal.
What if one goal interferes with another? What do you do then? Who do you select? Which will happen; since we all have different ambitions and goals.
Sometimes we have to be realistic… if I wanted to be a cardiovascular surgeon but I hate school and never went to doctoring school … would you let me operate on you? Would you allow a surgeon who doesn’t have the right education to operate on you?
That’s why we have rules, to protect everyone. Even those who feel like they’re not being protected are truly the ones being protected.
If they weren’t any rules, we might still have slave owners….
I mean what about people whose true ambition and goal is to be a slave owner… we have a law against that now… that’s why they are there to protect us…
Your ideas (some) are good… but to help people and change the world you have to be realistic….
You have to base your ideas on what we already know and how you can help us from then on…
not present an idea that would have been better serve when the world started….
I am quite realistic, the ideas are thorough and thought out. I have posted my work here unedited from its original words, the problem is that people aren’t use to the idea of hearing that they can possibly think in a different way than what they are use to. They therefore construct phrases and terms which are based on their own history and ideas with the mindset that they will provoke a rethinking of the original idea to occur. I do the same of course, in some small way, for some small reason, (perhaps a huge reason) fate has brought me here to post what I have; it is of my own will, but it is driven for some reason.
To take a form of freedom which so many believe in and to say they aren’t truly free is the problem for those who see it. If a person was truly free to make a choice they would have lived an entire life in this way, for no choice is ours if it is based off who society has shaped us into, it is the psychological choice which we do not have.. a person waking up one day and deciding to eat an orange may seem like a choice, yet if you examine that idea very thoroughly, you will see that every aspect which goes into making that choice has been through learning in their life.
The last paragraph can be read as so:
“If even one person in this world were truly free of a mind shaped from the ideas and their own personal history,.. if there was one choice in that person’s life which had no relation to anything they’ve ever done or seen, and that choice had no consequence which could be built for further learning and choice making then that would free their self. Even the smallest idea we bring forth has a profound impact on our lives, and the lives around us; in some way or another, and that idea was shaped from our past and shapes our future. A free mind, one which had only built its mind based off experiencing things for itself (never interacting with society in a way which would bind it to thinking the way society does) would have choices which would work for that self being to be free.”
These are the ideas I have, they are not teaching tools; I have not written what I have to take people and say ‘think my way or I will frown upon you and blast you with examples of why you are wrong’, to say they are unrealistic for disagreeing; or to say they do not live in the real world. I’ve been told many times in my life that my ideas are not realistic because I live my life in a happy way, I’ve been told to return to the ‘real world’ so many times its sickening.
The response I’ve had for people who have told me that however is that my ideas shape my life. If a person lives a life having fun, not taking things too seriously, enjoying ‘small things’, not making much money but loving their life for the actual sake of living, there are two ways to view that life.
A loser who struggles financially at times, crying at times, feeling sad and unimportant in the world because they have not really ‘done anything’, not having left where they live to travel the world, never loved or cared about much, and lived alone.
Or..
A dreamer who knows the value of money, feels true emotion and feels a vast outlook on life because they know what they want and have had good life experiences in their own terms by knowing that what they do is the only way they could’ve lived because it is how they did live. Having built a path in their own minds which they wish to share with others, to help them live this way as well.
Of course there are other ways of looking at things, and many ways of believing we are free to make choices if we look at things as we see them. I use to live both of these examples I have said above,.. some days seeing the help I gave people to see things in their own lives as a good thing and knowing that I was making a small impact perhaps on even a few lives.. and other days being so depressed and sad about my life that I couldn’t take it.
Almost a year ago I gave up; I stopped living in a way which made me believe that I had to prove something to the world, stopped living a lie of a life. When I stopped I met a woman who made my life meaningful, she is now my fiancée and I love her more than anything; I give all that I am for her, and she gives all she has for me. I believe that society gave me that one choice, to stop following its limitations, to stop trying to be someone I am just to make it in life; when I stopped trying, stopped making choices, I believe that something in this world made a choice for me.
I don’t say that my ideas are the only ones, I say that I don’t believe society gives us no choices.. I don’t say that ‘I believe’ before every word I say (I could), but it would make my articles twice as long and very repetitive. I would think that is implied though when writing an article which could be seen in very different ways; and to think, these articles I wrote a few months ago aren’t even close to as fictional or ‘non realistic’ as even a small fraction of my others. I don’t know if anyone would appreciate the writings I have though here, if I posted them.
I actually appreciate what you are writing.
Trust me, if it wasn’t I wouldn’t be asking questions trying to understand your message.
I have one questions (lol…again this shows interest and that I am actually reading and paying attention to everything you are writing.)
“If a person was truly free to make a choice they would have lived an entire life in this way, for no choice is ours if it is based off who society has shaped us into, it is the psychological choice which we do not have.. a person waking up one day and deciding to eat an orange may seem like a choice, yet if you examine that idea very thoroughly, you will see that every aspect which goes into making that choice has been through learning in their life.”
Isn’t part of living? I mean the fact that only a small percentage goes in our ‘nature’ aspect and the rest, the highest is nurture, how exactly do we built from that?
There are examples which I could use to state what happened when a baby was left alone with only its natural instinct….
If you were taught how to feed yourself, write, or etc…do you think you would be here right now writing this?
Because rather we like it or not, small things rather it’ll be functional or not needs to be taught to us.
I mean what you wrote is something that society has shaped you into. Rather you see it or not, your finance that plays a big part in your life is part of society, she shapes some aspect of who you are.
I mean is all things learned from society bad things? If the person eats the orange, shouldn’t that be a good thing, rather it was not their ‘original choice’ or not?
I personally believe that your idea would be good if it focus on the ‘good’ things in society.
Just the way our brain is built and the way it perceived things, I personally don’t see it happening.
Unless you can design a technology to erase the method our minds perceive things… then I don’t know how that could be…
When I read what you wrote, the thing I find funny is that despite all the things that you write is not the idea you are intercepting, it’s the way society shaped you. This is something you learned from society, based on your experiences.
Why would you want to change that? If you change that wouldn’t that be changing what you’re talking about right now?
Let me know if my questions are driving you crazy, but truly this is something that actually captured me and is something I would like to make clear. Rather I accept it or not, I would like to understand it.
Well of course the ideas of my life have brought me to be who I am, I wouldn’t fight those ideas or erase them, just take what I know now after these years and stop living for who the world says I should be. The odd thing is that when I re-read what I’ve written I see it only as good things, when I say the word ‘society’ I mean the world around us which forces us to live a certain way based off years of sociological conditioning which has turned our teachers into lazy money grabbers who care about nothing but their pay cheques. I haven’t ever known a teacher who has cared more about teaching a student than they care about going home for the night, having their summer vacations or making their hefty paycheques.
One of the things I dislike about the way society has shaped many people is that it teaches people to be lazy, that when they make money they always want more, and they want to do less work. Eventually turning people into what modern schooling is; and in relation to that teaches students that way of thinking as well. Fighting a life where the aspects of that world are there to teach people to be lazy and greedy is a good thing. I find that only in my dislike for that way of living can I attempt to separate myself from the outcome of that world. I don’t like the idea of ever being told what to do as much as the next person; I’ve known a mass amount of people however who believe they have free will and lead their lives by a set of religious rules which have made them into who they are, and to each question they answer ‘it is gods will’, when faced with something they would have to answer on their own.
These are the aspects of society I am negative towards and I believe that everyone should fight against when the idea of ‘positive change’ is addressed in any form. I don’t like to draw too much on personalized examples in my work as I find that it tends to drowned out the positivity and attract negativity, which is why I leave most of my words open for thought.
ABlue111, thanks for a detailed response! I think we are agreeing on the main points, my real complaint was just the language.
But I WILL continue to disagree anytime anyone invokes the phrase “society forces us…”
Society makes us do nothing, and we accept our ideas willingly! That was the distinction I was trying to make with my reply. Society only controls us if we accept it and we don’t push-back. And there are many examples where socity pushed-back hard enough in the past to overturn a long-standing decision. (ie- slavery, voting rights for women, child-labor laws, etc)
You are correct (I believe) to identify language as the crucial piece in the puzzle, because the words we use to define ourselves become the roads we follow as we all try to communicate our thoughts and ideals to one another.
Every word we can use to describe our lives has a slightly different connotation. To the point of your article, there are still unspoken words that haven’t been invented yet which might describe our state of being even better than the words we know today. Am I “bewilder-stricken” by life- yes! I think I live a “flunderful” life, indeed! (Floundering in the wonder!)
One final comment which may agree or disagree with either you or Sugar: I once had a teacher in school who prohibited students from using the phrase “I believe.” It was assumed that whatever thoughts spill out of a student’s mouth would be based upon their own beliefs, therefore using the phrase “I believe” was considered redundant. I still agree with that teacher’s philosophy today. It was probably the top “fact” that I took away from my early education.
I think I just validated both you and Sugar in the same sentence!
Sometimes a teacher teaches you to think, not just to follow society obediently. To Sugar’s point, did you learn to think critically all by yourself, or did you learn to think critically by the example of others?
ABlue111, tomorrow is a Holiday here, and I wish you and your family and friends the warmest thoughts. Thanks for writing, and for commenting!
Okay, alright.. Sugar and KK, too!
This proves why diction is an important thing to remember when you are writing.
I am only reading what you wrote, not knowing you personally or anything before hand about you.
When people read what you write, they will take it literally so you have to be careful, when you use ‘society’ to use some people in society, or the negative things in society…because society is everyone, that’s the meaning of the word.
Which is why I was confused and kept wondering why you are saying ‘society’ when we are all in this society learning and teaching.
Because you explained it now I know…but as a writer especially writing ideas such as this, you have to make sure you mean what you write.
You have to make sure when you use words that are ambiguous that their dictions or connotation is an absolute as well.
With the teachers, I think again that’s just your experience, because I have teachers in my family, who loves teaching and are doing because they love it. Teachers in reality have good time off, but they don’t really make that much when they start out.
And yes, I have meant some horrible teachers, but that didn’t close me off from not recognizing or seeing a good teacher when I had one.
