Away from Mind..into the Mind.

I guess human's love for and act of seeking knowledge and knowing things in personal and social capacity (directly or indirectly affecting him) stems from his need to feel liberated.

It feels as if we all are desperately seeking liberation, from ourselves, our thoughts and from others and their thoughts.

In our attempt to feel liberated, we try making others captive of our ideas, we fail.

In our attempt to feel liberated, we try owning things and people. We fail.

And then, in our last attempt to feel liberated, we try distracting our mind. 

We let it wander into the wonders of the world, into books, into words, into visuals, into any and every form that narrates to us stories of history and future.

Perhaps, that is the closest humans have ever gone to feeling liberated. In a library. In a bookshop. In a work environment. In learning. In reading. In viewing. In listening.

Perhaps, that is why books are called human's best friends. Strangely so, for most of us are not not even equipped with the stamina to read much or retain all that we read. Yet so, we desperately seek its presence..in our attempt to escape the inner and outer captivity, into the sense of liberation. From judgement - in and of ourselves, in and of others. From thoughts - in and of ourselves, in and of others.
