The World of Illusion

The World Of Illusion Just Like a bird in a guilded cage we are all supposed to be free ? But are we really free ? The answer is No !, in Australia we are compelled to vote, we are fined if we don't vote, as our governments make laws that control our lifestyle, when life was created by God he deemed all of us were born equal, that being the case why do we need a leader to govern as we are all as good as each other, laws create problems in society, and corrupts our lifestyles. When society, tells us what we are permitted to do and even what we say and wear, is that freedom ?, the answer is No, we live in a society were we are forced to accept rules on our personal appearance, it was alright for women to wear skirts and men to wear long pants, and boys to wear short pants all in the name of tradition and this is dictating our lives, if we fail to comply we are discriminated by society and looked upon as anti socialists which in some extremes can lead to civil unrest and world wars, we are all prisoners of tradition and government laws, we do things to please everyone except ourselves and that is selfishness that needs to change as people need to wear and look as they wish. here are some examples these days women can wear pants and men even wear skirts, they are called kilts that Irish and Scottish soldiers would wear into battles. Makeup only woman wear allowed to wear, yet in very early times men would wear make up, back in the Egyptian dynasties. It was also the same in indian tribal customs only men wore war paint, but it has all changed. If a man wore lipstick in the street today he would be laughed at as being gay or a drag queen, yet circus clowns have done this in there work amusing children, even actors use it with no incriminations, so why can't men and women have a say in what they wear and how they dress and have nothing said about it, if we were truly free we could do all of this, but as long as discrimination rules society we will always be forced to obey tradition and follow the rules that suits a select few and not the majority of the world we live in. This explains my thesus that we are just like that bird in a guilded cage, we seek freedom but can never really be free. This is the order of our society today.
