10 Lessons from What It Takes To Be Free

(thread)

1)Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone
planted a tree a long time ago.
2) True freedom means you're not concerned with other people's opinions, views, and actions. You also don't have the need to explain why your ideas and actions are the best.
3)Remember, being free means to live as you are. You don't
have to lie about who you are, what you like, and what you
do. Just be yourself.
4)Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom
involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of
responsibility.
5)Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
6)The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become
so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of
rebellion.
7)The purpose of life is
not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be
compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have
lived and lived well.
8)Freedom starts with knowing who you are and what you want.
This is your life, and you decide what you want to do with
it no one else can or should make that decision for you.
9)Freedom is to do what you want and to be what you are.
10)You can't please everyone. You can't make everybody
like you. This is your life and you can do what you want. If
you don't want to visit people's parties or gatherings, then
don't.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.

Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.

The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
