Freedom

Freedom has become very relative. What do I need or want freedom from? Contemplation has led me to believe that I will not be happy with freedom. How can I be happy if I am free? Dependency is ingrained into my gene code. Dependence on everything. I am dependent on being happy for having a good night's sleep. For happiness, I am dependent on 'N' number of things. All things in my life should go right or how will I call myself 'Happy'? Take air for example. I am dependent on ti to be alive!! The list is endless. A good job, traffic-free roads, good food, good clothes, enough money... on and on! The list is endless. So how could I celebrate freedom? I may not be a conspicuous slave, but I am a slave none-the-less. I am slave to the norms of the society. I am slave to a certain established behavior. So, how am I free? How is anyone free?
