Anarchistbanjo's World

I secure my freedom in the world to the degree that I make the world my own. It belongs to me to the degree that I gain it and take possession of it for myself, in whatever way that I can. If I am weak, then the means that I use to make the world my own are not very strong.

Society demands that we always play by the rules which it has created for us. That makes it a rigged game that can’t be won honestly. It’s too easy to say, “break the rules!” So I won’t. Instead I suggest playing a totally different game, one that doesn’t directly break the rules that society imposes upon us, but instead finds unregulated frontiers where we can pursue our own dreams and visions without directly confronting society.

We have the right to pursue our own dreams and visions in life and the right to never give up striving for them. There are times when I might give up a course of action because it is simply not getting me where I want to go. That doesn’t mean I’m giving up on my goal! I’m just finding a way to get around the rock that stands in my way, and if I can’t get around it I will find a way to destroy it. There are infinite possibilities within the present moment and we only need to find the ones that are right for us!

I can get around the laws of society until I have the strength to directly confront them. We start small and gradually get stronger in our ability to go our own way. This is the way it has always been. External authority demands our submission but at some point in time a strong man or woman will stand up against that authority and refuse to submit! The masses always watch in astonishment as they wait for the upstart to be destroyed. They shout out warnings in vain, yet the strong man or woman who refuses to submit remains standing and finally the masses become silent. The strong man or woman has won!

Freedom is only freedom when you take it for yourself! It can never be given!
