... how it would feel to be free. Many of us crave for "freedom" from our work but what does that actually mean? Surely the only reason we know about and can appreciate freedom is because of the drudgery that fills our days between the hours of 9 and 5 (adjust to suit)? Without work, we imagine, we'd be Lords of Leisure: sleeping all morning, eating all afternoon and drinking all evening. 'Sounds good doesn't it? However, how many days would go by before this too would become as monotonous as the work we've escaped?
The key, I believe, to a happy life (N.B. NOT a free life) is variety, and I'm not talking about the pathetic annual excuse for our unelected sponges to pretend they know what 'popular culture' means, I mean doing something different every day.
Take a different route from your house one morning to the bus stop; eat a different sandwich for lunch; try out a new restaurant for dinner and then onto a club you've never been to before. Being open to all that life has to offer will mean that you're never bored and constantly surprised at what you may find yourself enjoying! So, how does it feel to be free?
