Re-reading children's books and starting a post on freedom, I would like to comment on the freedom that the cats in the books have. While the warrior life claims to be free and wonderful, in actuality it is limited by rule, after rule, after rule. These rules ( otherwise known as the warrior code.) have limited the freedom of these cats. Even in the wild there must be some sense of order.
Must there always be order, if not, when should and shouldn't there be order? With out order are people really free? I don't believe so, from what I believe, you stop yourself from being free. My logic in this is that, you always have a trait, a flaw, or not a flaw, which restricts you, be it pride forbidding you to act humble, or happiness forbidding you to be sad, you are always restricted, if by nothing more, then simply by yourself. Order is always imposed in some way shape or form. No one can ever truly free for they would be nothing, no thoughts feelings or emotions to guide them. a random, unguided zombie like creation that knows no bounds, like... this is going to sound reaaaaly odd but, like baby almost.
Babies (before they begin to develop understanding of the world around them) act randomly, and will do anything as they have no sense of wrong or right - before they can even be happy or sad. This is the closest we have ever gotten to being compleatly free, and even then we are limited by essential needs, such as food and water, and sleep.
Good night all...
