Free with the mouth shut..







I cannot help but to feel that freedom is a lie. Freedom, as in the true sense of the word, exists only in theory. Humans haven't been free since the ancient ages - and will never truly be as long as their nature stays as it is. People always loved control over each other, even in subtle ways. We may have an option to make our own decisions, but are those decisions truly our own? No. They depend on others, society, our own ego that has been shaped by others. We speak words of freedom to please the people, just like we've been taught to. We aren't free. From the earliest years we are taught obedience - to authorities, religion, anyone that stands above us. The freedom of speech goes as far as to say a word that's aganist the common opinion accepted by society - there it ends.



Society restrains our freedom. People restrain our freedom.

Our own minds restrain our freedom.







Character: Sven



Note: There is a good reason I chose this character to portray this. In fact, I couldn't have chosen anyone else - Sven's whole life was devoted to freedom, or rather lack thereof. Freedom is the dream he fights for. Also, the tattoo on his hand says just enough.
