RE: Why Do People Fear Freedom So Much?
Excellent publication. It's very thought-provoking. Obviously we all want to be free, but free of responsibility. It's true that there is a fear of freedom. But there's also guilt in what they teach us as kids, in the schools. They condition us to behave well, correctly in order to be accepted. If we follow the rules, we won't have any problems. And the father figures become the authorities and the governments, who know what you should do or what you should not do.
And anyone who does not agree with the teacher will be sanctioned or expelled from the class. Does that sound familiar?
In order to be free, we have to remove years of manipulation engraved in our subconscious. We're like the elephant that's tied up with a little rope and still doesn't move.
Thanks for sharing man! J-Squad! :D

Please allow me to share with you link to our latest article, where we're explaining our economy and our goals. Your feedback and comment would be greatly appreciated.
You have made an excellent summary of how we are conditioned to reject freedom for the safety and benefits that conformity provides us. While I would love for more people to fight and continue to claim their freedoms I do understand the appeal. But it's those who go against these ideals and claim their freedom that brings new ideas, make them a reality, drive innovation and push us forward even if most of us are unwilling to progress they force us to recognise it.
Yes, thanks to them we have all the inventions that surround us, not only technological but also medical, social and psychological.
It's a shame to call them the crazy ones because they don't settle like most of us do.
