imagine being alive in your own body but not actually being able to express yourself, always having to fake your way thru, having others scrutining your every word deed or action all the time.. just imagine that for a whole lifetime and constantly and in close proximity..
not being able to be you and not being able to get out at all... HELL

People who don't think for themselves but adhere closely to society's expectations live this way. It's the free thinkers, the creative doers, the imaginative inventors who manifest a better world. Taking away the freedom of action/expression, whether it's taken by an outside force or an inner fear or being oneself, stifles the life force. That would be robotic. It would be similar to being paralyzed as the freedom to do and express is frozen. It would be hell for most people. Some people imprison themselves in this hell for their own reasons.

Man is been given a brain and to think,talk and act.This makes him one of the superior things in animal world.Animals express their freedom of action and expression.They are the happiest,are they or arent they?They dont know.Because their concious mind is limited to the basic needs of survival alone.As one goes higher up to the ladder of evolution,brain rules the world,through specified words actions and developed skills.Lots of brains together decide what is best for mankind.Rules.Regulations.Morals.All are meant for the benefit of the society and not for that particular human being alone.Imagine if we were to live in jungles,without using our brains,we would never have survived only thru our animal instincts.Being a part of society,for the benefit of its people as a whole brings us some responsibilities as well.I may not know what it means freedom for u,but if the rules say--yes,freedom means this,then i have to obey.This is where majority of people are consistent in saying yes,u r right.We are free,but does are freedom bring us happiness?Happiness is not something which is to be experienced alone.We need a society too.Certainly it cant be a hell.Hell and heavens are in the minds.
