Let’s be free 

 

Freedom is a state of non-dependence. A person who has needs depends on these needs and therefore cannot be entirely free. In a more narrow case, freedom is a state that allows us to satisfy our needs.   

A person has subjective and objective needs. Objective needs are natural needs. People may satisfy them pretty much successfully and thus find their freedom. Troubles of today's society come from subjective or alienated needs because people could not satisfy them. Generally speaking, subjective needs can give people a feeling of overcoming their weaknesses before nature and releasing people from the inconveniences coming from such weaknesses. But of course, that is a false release.  

How it manifests? Whenever people accomplish any goal in their lives, the narcissus in them assigns to that success, and of course to their egos, a more significant value then it objectively deserves. Such a phenomenon might look unimportant, but in essence, it is the nest of all social evil. All the social evil around the world comes from over self-evaluation because it unavoidably brings underestimation of other people. Wrong evaluation of people alienates people from the nature of people and prepares an environment for all social troubles.   

When a person’s needs are alienated, they tend not to be satisfied because no action can reach the nature of the origin of such needs. No action can give a person more power than they get by their nature. Such a person is afraid of the possibility of losing imagined alienated power, and it forces him to act endlessly to protect his false vision. Taking into account he cannot get satisfaction in this way, such acting takes freedom from him while the endlessness useless acting kills the soul of such a person. A person without a soul is just a machine that walks and produces trouble.  

On top of everything, such a person tends to impose alienated values to other people and to oppress other people, which takes freedom from other people and brings considerable problems to the whole society. Presidents, scientists, soccer players, mothers do such things; practically no one is immune to self over-evaluating, no one is immune to narcissism. That is a problem we need to solve.  

Without matter of what a goal a man accomplishes, he must not forget, for his own sake and for the sake of the whole society; he is equal to any other person. This is precisely what the system of mutual evaluation among the people I have proposed will remind each person all the time. This is the first step to freedom.  

Also, the system I have proposed, will rid the people of authoritative pressure and give them the freedom to follow their own interests. Such experience will demystify the values imposed by authorities and will teach people to live observing their proper nature, which will, in turn, free them from all types of alienation characteristics of present-day society.   

The new system I have proposed gives objective freedom to the people. They will have choices everywhere. The people will have a right to choose whether they want to work and what they want to work. Their existence will not depend on work anymore, but they will choose to work because they will like to work in the new system.  

Such a life will be free. It will be significantly better than the life we live in today; a life much better than anyone can imagine.
