Why is it that when you are young, you are unable to experience true physical freedom- without boundaries and consequence, but your mind is completely open to anything and everything, however once you are an adult and are able to be completely physically free, your mind has lost its ability to let go and imagine without borders?
---young: able to be completely mentally open. imaginary friends, new inventions, questions about WHY everything is; unable to experience physical freedom- someone always around to tell them where to go or what they can/can't do, consequences for everything in order to learn the difference between right and wrong, sexuality is not developed
---older: emotional freedom is almost nonexistent; we have learned what can and can't be said aloud, how we are allowed to feel, and what we should do based on "social norms;" no imaginary friends, ideas and feelings/patterns are set; able to be physically free without most consequences and within most contexts; go wherever we want, make our bodies however we want them to look, experience sex in any way that we want to
Is true enlightenment being able to experience both emotional and physical freedom at the same time? What does that look like- running naked in the streets without a care of who sees you, perhaps? Becoming someone who loves who they are and says what they mean without fear of being "set apart" from the pack?
