I know that writing under such an exaggerated title is a heavy burden for the author (for example, a good book called "What is Freedom" by Professor Keishi Saeki (2004 Kodansha's New Book)). However, when I look at the recent uproar, I think that I should think about it while admitting my lack of power, so I will write it in my own way.

　Needless to say, the freedom that someone other than yourself or some organization finally gains when you are recognized as "you are free" is not really "freedom".It's close to "rights".Long before we receive such permits and accreditations, we are "free".Societies and institutions are, after all, man-made (made) artifacts, meaning that we can think freely and act freely before such artifacts are what we are doing.

　"Eh? I'm not free at all. I'm tied up with my company, tied up with my family, and I'm not doing what I want to do at all."

　You might think, but it's always and at this moment that you can let go of them and go on a journey wherever you are, that is, you choose to "do" or not. We are "freedom" by nature, no matter how you think about it.Therefore, it is too much to say that everything is the result of one's own choice, and there is nothing that can be blamed on anyone or something in all of the world, without the need to add qualifiers such as ... Is also a matter of course.Note that this is not a clever theory of responsibility, but a perception of the entire universe.Yes, the true meaning of "freedom" is close to the meaning of "loneliness."

　Nowadays, I often see the kind of responsibility theory, but I don't see such epistemology (so to speak, the attitude toward the world and life).Then, the frustration that I would stay in the area of ​​branches and leaves and the last section forever also led to writing such a sentence, but thinking "freedom = all you want to do" is the antonym of freedom "binding". It is the result of the idea of ​​"responsibility".Again, it's an artifact area and a branch and leaf area.Thinking about what that binding is and what responsibility is is to focus on the foundation of our existence-that is, the realm of the trunk-to realize the true nature of what we were born with. That's right.

　It was Yukichi Fukuzawa who used "freedom" in the sense of "independence."For him, independence literally means "standing on his own", eating on his own and living on his own, so freedom may be something of a lonely atmosphere.

　Ah, if the people living in the present recognize this true "freedom" ... I think the world will be refreshed.You will not be able to replace your inconveniences and complaints with justice, which easily turns someone or some organization into a bad guy, and chanting loudly.You will not over-promote yourself as a weak person and think that you are on the right side.Or it gets so hot that everyone doesn't speak up!You can also request fighting spirit.It's all your choice and you can't blame anyone.

　However, it is lonely and lonely, not embracing an image of a world that has given up extremely, but living with a positive attitude that is similar to the preparedness for this world, including good and bad things. .. "Ah, I'm always doing strange things, but that might be the case if I were in that position ... I think I'm doing something I can't help but I can't blame him innocently. Because I'm not that right, and if you look at history, that would have been the case, and that's how it's now ... ".
　A true understanding of "freedom" will surely be the first step towards a tasteful world. (Continue)
