The seat of Purity

I bought and read an easy book called It was a book for elementary school children whose philosophical concepts began to be captured. There is this story in this book. We think we need to be able to do whatever we want, but there are many things that we can't do because of our own physical and environmental conditions or limitations. So to be truly free, we have to know how to choose something, but we also have to be courageous to give up. In the end, we talk about limited freedom. We cannot enjoy unlimited freedom in this society. And there's a more philosophical story in this book. The prisoner can be free if he accepts his situation and keeps hope. I wondered if this would be understood by fourth grade children. Even if the body is tied, the mind can freely create something and dream beyond the walls of the prison. Hope is what makes it possible. So the requirement of freedom is hope. The book also says that because freedom is one of human rights, everyone has the right to be free. So humans always say that they have to fight for their freedom. Because freedom does not end with one gain, you have to fight over and over again. And in order for everyone to have the right to be free, we must respect each other's freedom and not limit the freedom of others.

I think that it is the history of the struggle for freedom, if we look at the history of humanity, Particularly the history of Korea is the history of struggle for democracy. And we have experiences of liberation from colonial oppression and of driving out tyranny. But have we really been free since then? Are we suffering from another oppression and restraint? How many people can confidently say that they are truly free?

One time, I was stuck with the word freedom, so I worked hard to find the data and research. First, I examined the encyclopedia about how freedom is defined. But I was confused. There were many definitions, concepts, and principles of freedom, and the kinds of freedoms varied from legal freedom, political freedom, economic freedom, and social freedom.

The first definition of freedom, in an encyclopedia, is that 'freedom generally refers to the state of being as it exists and to the things that one wants to do without being bound or controlled by both inside and outside. But philosophically it is not possible to determine what this freedom is, and Sartre said that freedom is close to punishment and that engagement is true freedom. In Buddhism, death is called freedom, while in Taoism, it is called freedom to reject freedom of civilization and desire and live naturally. '

This definition has made me think that freedom is a very diverse concept and a fun concept to study. It's worth studying.

Each person will be able to say with confidence that this freedom I have felt, is true freedom that cannot be replaced with anything. So I want to say about 'freedom' based on a lot of books I read and the movies I watched.
