Authority

A colleague of mine brought this subject to my attention. As soon as I heard it, I recognised a link with my previous blog.

Authority can be found all around us. No matter where you look there is always an authority you need to obide by. School, work, RIS, electricity company, internet/telephone provider, basically anything and anyone who 'outranks' you.

In a way this could be seen as there being no freedom left in this world and society. Because everywhere we look, there is an authority present. Whether this an organisation, an actual person or in some cases a God.

This just rises the question again about whether freedom really exists. I don't think it does. Freedom of mind exists, but freedom to express your mind is limited. So in what way I wonder, is there still any freedom left? In what way can we actually find the so-called freedom we are all looking for?

I'm not sure if it's really out there, but I'll remain with hope. Freedom, in every sense of the word, might be the utopia we are all looking for.
