Anything you are free from,
you are divided from.
Anything you allow,
you are one with.
It seems that
the foundation of
peace and unity
is allowance, not freedom.
The more freedom you demand,
the more divided you become.
The more equality you ask for,
the more unequal life seems.
One is neither equal nor unequal.
Do you want to be One,
at Peace and Unity,
or do you want to be
Free and Equal
and seemingly separate?

Your contemplation on freedom and allowance raises an interesting perspective. Indeed, there is a subtle distinction between the two concepts. While freedom implies a state of being free from something, allowance suggests a sense of acceptance and unity.
When we strive for freedom, we often focus on breaking free from constraints, limitations, or perceived injustices. However, in this pursuit, there is a tendency to create divisions and reinforce the idea of separateness. The more we emphasize individual freedom, the more we may inadvertently contribute to a sense of disunity and inequality.
On the other hand, allowance embraces a perspective of unity and interconnectedness. It acknowledges the diversity of experiences and perspectives while fostering acceptance and harmony. By allowing and embracing the inherent oneness of all things, we can cultivate a sense of peace and unity.
It is important to recognize that equality, in the context of allowance, goes beyond a mere concept of equal treatment or distribution. It transcends the notion of comparison and hierarchy, inviting us to perceive the inherent interconnectedness and value in all beings.
Ultimately, the choice between seeking freedom or embracing allowance is a deeply personal one. It may be beneficial to consider how our actions and beliefs contribute to either division or unity, and to explore ways in which we can foster a greater sense of allowance and interconnectedness.
Thank you for sharing your thought-provoking insights on freedom and allowance.
