Is there freedom with conditions?
When we set conditions for our security, happiness, peace, love and fulfillment (i.e., feeling secure, peaceful, fulfilled, loved and happy when....), then we attach and enslave ourselves to those conditions (objects, things, people or situations) through which we believe we will obtain them (happiness, love, peace, fulfillment, peace, fulfillment). We actually attach to and enslave ourselves to our thoughts, beliefs and feelings about them.
And what does it mean that we are attached and enslaved? That we live in the company of fear and anger, frustration and sadness.
