"A Life Of Slavery Or A Life Of The Ruler.." What will you choose???

"Man was Born free... But everywhere he is in chains...!!!"

One of the popular thought of The Great Political Philosopher of the 18th Century ~ Jean  Jacques Rousseau

Before the French Revolution, Rousseau disgusted with the attitude of people and had given the above thought...

We all might think... Why???

Are we in chains everywhere???

Really???

What types of chains???

But...

For some~ Freedom implies "making non-contingent choices in a contingent and so connected world..."

Then how can an individual escape subjectivity when their environment cannot...???

But then, it's my take to explore the other side of this controversy...

 As we know, "thought sparks off any revolution..."

So did Rousseau's thought about freedom of people which worked as a fuel to fire to the French people and later the world at large.

A Government's importance is it's purpose.

Therefore, the legitimacy in a Government is not it's form, but rather it's purpose and fulfillment of that purpose.

"We are born free and so we are the master of ourselves. We should be guided by us."  - It was the nascent stage of democracy. It was the period of transformation and the beginning of the rule by themselves.

According to Aristotle,

"Some men are born for slavery and others are born to dominate and rule.."

It was the wake-up call by Rousseau for a legitimate Government which is formed by the consent of the governed. It should be a representative democracy where the legislative & executive were separated from one another so that the people that consider themselves exempt from the law, should make work in the interest of the whole community. 

The moot concept is to unshackle oneself from the chains of the society. 

This concept of freedom revolutionize the French society and the people. 

And they start craving for rule - of the people, by the people, for the people...

Atleast the History says so.... What do you say???  

Success Or Wealth ???? And Love ! ! !

 A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something
to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.

No", she replied. "He's out.

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"
The woman went out and invited the men in. 

"We do not go into a House together," they replied. 

"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband to his wife.
"Go out and invite Love to be our guest." The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." 

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!"
