Detatchment.

True freedom comes with the abolishment of the things that we hold important.

Relationships, affiliationships, belongings, or should I say supposed belongings.

Freedom comes from detachment from the bondage of the self created ties, chains, and prison cells that we bring upon our own co dependant selves.

Flogging the dead horse, so to speak, is a definite form of self imprisonment.

Someone that we all knew, was once told that he = a man of his persuasion, could never achieve an original thought.

Daddy's shoes are worn and tattered. Like baby shoes, they should be bronzed, and not stepped into.

It is one thing, to walk in the footsteps of the father, and another, to blindly walk into a mine field. Read into that one, like a zen koan .....................................
