”Freedom”

Post by Unknownfromheaven »

Please check the pictures I attached to this thread before reading.

I also raised some serious questions.

What do you understand by ”freedom”?

If ”freedom” only means sex, drugs, and alcohol, then I think that Mr. Green has a different perception than me. Because when he referred to freedom in that context, it was a response to what some tourists claim specifically that there are sins.

I want to move to the Netherlands, but most people have this perception, especially about Amsterdam which is making me hold back. I was once in the month of January and a lot of people made fun of me, they were telling me to go and have some fun. But those things that I mentioned above are not what I seek in life and never did these things.

In the pictures provided you will see how some people are confirming that this is indeed the case. That Amsterdam is a place for things like that and I also knew from some movies that people who go there, usually are for sex and this freedom.

Maybe it is for some who wanted to feel free from their religious backgrounds.

I come from a specific background which was also religious, but in the present, I don't believe in sins anymore, I think it's bad that some people are harming other people or themselves, etc (if I would use the word in such a context) without religious implications.

I don't judge people and I think that they have the right to live their lives as they please, however, I am not like those people when it comes to do or try such things. I don't know why, I always ran away from things like this and it's not that I cannot necessarily engage in such activities, it's also a feeling in me that I really don't want these. Of course, I asked myself and thought deeply about this.

One answer that came to my mind is that I am afraid, but I don't know why I am afraid, perhaps because of some old traumatic experiences, another that I'm losing something that I don't want to lose. The way I built myself...

Many girls approached me before and even after I got married and I refused to sleep with them - It always came to "fight or flight" thinking for myself that I wanted to have a healthy relationship, to have only one woman in my life, there were also cases with people who got sick because of this, and so on, for sure there were several reasons that made me be specific about what I want in this life, to focus more on love and what I wanted to accomplish, to have a family and to build my future and while I was thinking of these things, I never had thoughts about freedom, only later I understood when my ex-wife wanted freedom so she can... not feel guilty anymore, she told me she didn't want to lie to me anymore.

The questions:

1. Freedom of what? as if to do what?

I am the same person as I was when I was married. There is no difference when it comes to such ideas.

2. Do you think there is something wrong with me?

3. Do you also think the reason for all the people who go to Amsterdam is mainly to do these things?

(4th question) not to open another topic
4. Do you think all women are the same?
