several days ago that I have an idea around in my head, an idea that I heard or read long ago time, but I had not stopped to think:
"If you love something, set it free, if you back is because it is yours, if not return it because it never was"
I looked for the meaning of the word freedom on the Internet and found some definitions.
In Wikipedia says: "The word freedom means the right of human beings that allows you to decide to do or not a particular action. In other words, allowing the man to decide if you want to do something or not, makes him free, but also accountable. " Guillermo Cabanellas
regard says: this is the "human ability to direct the thoughts or behavior according to the dictates of reason itself and the individual's will, not determinism, nor subject to influence than the others or the outside world ".
According to the dictionary of the English Language, freedom is the "possibility that human beings have to act or not act according to their intelligence and will."
The three definitions above, there is a concept repeated and that has to do with the main feature of this word: power. Freedom is a human being's right and no other being on Earth. In other words, the human race is able to exercise that power or right.
This idea is basic in understanding the phrase that has been around in my head. If you love something, set it free. But free for what? Free to decide where, how and who wants to be.
Two years ago I wrote a post called Love is a decision . In it I stated that love is a verb and means to make a decision. When two people marry, they decide to love, decide to engage with one another in a free and spontaneous act. And those two people will respect this promise together while sharing the good and bad times of life, they respect the decision they made using that power.
In addition, there is another variable that is not explicit on that occasion and that has to do with the other to give freedom to renew that pledge every day, so that he or she can decide whether to continue loving and if you want to remain committed. And I think this is the idea that arises in that sentence.
When we say we love someone, we usually think that person's owners, masters of their time, their sacrifice, their decisions, for their actions and even say that that person belongs. We fail to understand that the greatest act of love lies in giving complete freedom to decide what you want, to decide whether or not to belong.
And with that, I can not remember the man who made the most delivery by love: Jesus Christ. He, in His infinite love, not only suffered and died for our sake, but also gave us the power to direct our thinking and our behavior in our own reason and will. He forced us not to follow suit, but invited us to walk the path that traced. We who daily direct our actions as we please, without any pressure, and we take responsibility for each of those actions. And we who, from time to time, we realize that only His way is completely free to make us, because He is the truth. And while many times we turn away from God with our decisions, has always given us the opportunity to return to Him
The big difference we have with our Father is that human beings are imperfect and constantly moves away from what Jesus taught us . We are not able to give that freedom to another and sometimes we are not responsible for the decisions they freely make.
Should we, then, love fully, giving the freedom to love us? Can we thus come to feel that we too give us this freedom?
