<p>Because <strong>they are thinking it in the word / notion but didn&#8217;t observe the reality</strong>.   In reality, there is</p>
<p>no such freedom ever exist like we conceived in the notion.   Even the most powerful rich person still has</p>
<p>to live in the oxygen rich air and soon or later has to die.   Restriction is the basis of our existence.</p>
<p>Ideally imagined condition,  or a story from another world may tell otherwise,  still a person was</p>
<p>bound to live within his or her restrictive  Karma.   But it doesn&#8217;t mean there is no freedom to the person.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>If you think about music,  in the traditional folk music,  even  popular Blues,  they  were composed in the</p>
<p>Pentatonic which is the Natural Tonal System.   But its got only five notes ( well, octave higher etc, a bit</p>
<p>more ) &#8212;&#8212;- from those meager five +  notes,  how many tunes  we human being created in the history ?</p>
<p>Have you ever heard the same tune or melody  from different source ?     No such thing ever happened in</p>
<p>the isolated situation (culture)&#8212;&#8211;other than a copy.</p>
<p>Any new tune can be created  even from very restricted five notes &#8212;- isn&#8217;t this  Freedom ?   Need  more ?</p>
<p>Full use of the tonal scale, 12 tone system, or even continuous frequency change of the electronic  music</p>
<p>the possibility and the freedom  to create new music should be much higher &#8212;&#8212;&#8212; though in  the result,</p>
<p>do you remember any of such contemporary music ? &#8212;&#8212;&#8211; It is the evidence of what the unrestricted</p>
<p>freedom had achieved.    Theoretically it might be new,  but in reality its a trash,  nobody give a sit kind.</p>
<p>In political correctness,  its free to express any new idea, it must be one&#8217;s freedom.  But in the same time</p>
<p>others got exactly same right of freedom not to give a damn to such idea.  It is the waste of the life.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>There was a funny quote ( sorry I forgot who said this though) &#8221; If the God wished the man to play Foot Ball</p>
<p>he wouldn&#8217;t have given the hands to us&#8221;  😀</p>
<p>If there was no hand from the beginning,  there is no notion of the hand or possibility to image them&#8212;-so,</p>
<p>there wouldn&#8217;t be any complaint of the restriction not having the hands.  Just ply Foot Ball. (no punch up :-))</p>
<p>The notion of the restriction is only a thought of excuse by a person who haven&#8217;t actually tried it.</p>
<p>When anybody try long enough,  and to know deep enough,  there is unlimited possibility and the freedom.</p>
<p><strong>To contemplate &#8221; Who you are&#8221;  and to build your life  in its maximum possibility, is the Zen.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And the Zen Master called this  Jizai. &#8212;&#8212;- Being as Itself.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>( Sadly,  I noticed so many people stranded on front of the door, puzzling &#8221; Who you are&#8221;&#8212;-misguided</p>
<p>by the wrong but looks elaborated  words, words, words. <strong> Look at the mirror, its you. Who  else</strong> )</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-In the history, J.S. Bach&#8217;s music is the best sample of the achievement of such  freedom.</p>
<p>You should try  listen his  &#8221; Art of Fugue&#8221;,  which was composed from the four notes  B, A, C, H.</p>
<p>Its followed strict rule of the &#8221; Counter Point&#8221;  in the Fugue, to make the variation of those four</p>
<p>note in different order and permutation.&#8212;&#8212; And created such a universe of mesmerizing</p>
<p>musical time and the space.</p>
<p>His achievement is one of the epoch in the human history.</p>
