Today, there are all sorts of controls governing our every behavior and restictions on what we can say, think, act or do.
Fences, Traffic Lights, passports, food limits, marriage, etc.

We seem to be moving to a place where all these controls are creating a world in which every individual is being contolled and supressed by some means. America is supposed to be the land of the free, but nobody is really free and their are a lot of freedoms being suppressed every day and there seems to be no end in sight.

I know that everybody has to get along, that is why there are restrictions, but where is the median? Nobody seems to be able to be who they are. They are expected to act, think and be a certain way.

It seems as though the people who are the "outlaws" put restrictions on the rest of us. It's like the Movie 1984, but with a twist and we can't help but move in that direction, where we are nothing but some robotic creatures. I no loner like being a robot and following the masses.

Yes we are over governed. You're right. We are capable of thinking for ourselves, even though they want us to believe that we can't.

It's called psychological warfare.

If I want to run a red light and I don't see anyone around, especially a cop, I will run it. Not necessarily during the busiest times of day, but I know how to cross the street. At any moment that I can seize the opportunity to have my freedom and do what I want, I do.

Here's my saying: if that's what everybody else is doing there must be something wrong with it...do the opposite of the masses.

I THINK THAT YOU ARE PARTLY RIGHT. THE CONTROLS ARE MEANT FOR A GROUP OF PEOPLE TO BEHAVE IN SUCH A WAY THAT AT INDIVIDUAL LEVELS WE FEEL COMFORTABLE. SUPPOSE THAT THERE ARE NO TRAFFIC CONTROLS WHICH WILL MEAN THAT IF YOU ARE WALKING OR DRIVING YOU WILL NOT SUFFER FROM JAMMING OR GET INJURED/KILLED. THE CONTROLS ARE ON YOUR FOOD HABITS ARE YOUR OWN CONTROLS TO ENSURE HEALTHY LIFE AND GOVERNMENTS DO NOT PUT ANY LAWS. WE DO SEEM TO BE MOVING TOWARDS WORLD WHICH IS CONTROL BASED FOR OUR LIVING STYLE BUT NO BODY CAN SNATCH YOUR FREEDOM TO EVALUATE OR PROBE INTO WHAT WE ARE. IN ABSENCE OF SOCIAL CONTROLS THE LIFE WOULD BE SO MUCH CHAOTIC THAT YOU NEITHER WILL HAVE TIME TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE AND WHAT FOR YOU ARE HERE IN THIS WORLD NOR YOU WILL HAVE ENERGY LEFT TO THINK ABOUT THESE VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES.

for there to be a society, control measures must be in place. take for example, what you said : traffic lights. imagine junctions without lights, who is to say when to stop and when to go ? think about the chaos that would ensure.
up to a certain extend there must be laws and regulations.
as to where is the line, that is certainly hard to place.
It is the people that trys to find loopholes in the system, for their own benefit, that tightens the noose around us, they are to blame and not the ones enforcing or creating it.

You're under the impression that humanity can live an orderly utopian life without control. We can't. It is not in our nature to just "naturally" do the right thing. It's in our nature to do the SELFISH thing.

There has to be some amount of control in order to create a working and healthy society.

Where is the line? Personally I think where the individual's rights end when they damage another's. That's why there are laws.

Total freedom is total responsibility. Your life circumstances are created and controled by the laws of karma. Desire through actions in thought word and deed, also your destiny. Wake up to your unity with God in unconditional love within your own heart.Rise above the law into spiritual life. Doing Dharma, your duty, serving God, doing his will.

everywhere is a relative question. This universe is so insignificant that it really would not exist. The ideas submerged in relativity has a not ordinary time because it truly is blinded with assistance from it relative length orientated element of view. The actual universe is a made out of three factors and that is Time, area, and means. area-time causes means to bypass at relative costs of speed ( or vibrations) which we journey by the body it truly is likewise made out of means transferring at diverse costs. each and every element is merely means transferring at a countless vibration. count number won't be able to exist devoid of time and area and the quantity of area we see is merely when it comes to our actual length orientated perceptions neither are we attentive to means except it strikes at diverse costs and we view and journey it from from the attitude of a relative means vibration. Our perceptions of the particular universe is rather a lot illusory and thoroughly relative. the reason we seek for for solutions is because down deep we understand the way little all of us learn about reality (actuality). reality (actuality) is Un-relative and is our authentic and continuously contained in the hot beginning. Our authentic and continuously recent beginning is the image-a lot less Spirit of existence our Loving Father whom Jesus change into introducing us too and asking us to position down the time created and phantasm rooted self identity. phantasm is that which seems, seems authentic, yet then disappears and reality (actuality) is that it truly is continuously. quicker or later the eternal fireplace of the actuality is going to damage all phantasm alongside with those who walked in it because it suitable and soothed the lust and desires of the self and they are going to give up to exist even in memory after judgment. The door thanks to Eternity isn't contained in the destiny yet continuously contained in the hot merely as existence is continuously contained in the hot.
