Very few people in this world are truly free. Most people are slaves to something some are slaves to the market, some to society, some to their families, and some to their work.

Many people who claim to be free misunderstand what freedom actually means. Before a person can become free externally, they must first become free internally. If you are not free from your own nature, your biology, your ego, and your inner compulsions, then you cannot truly be free on the outside either. Sooner or later, something external will take control of you.

Freedom begins within. Only after becoming free internally can you experience freedom externally. If you are not free inside yourself, how can you possibly be free in the world?

There is also a common misunderstanding that having freedom means having choices. I believe that is a misunderstanding of freedom. Freedom is not about having numerous choices; freedom is simply about being free. Choices are often provided or constrained by external circumstances.

Consider Bhagat Singh. People may say that he had a choice between surrendering and facing execution. A judge essentially told him that he could surrender or face the execution. But Bhagat Singh did not simply choose death. He chose freedom.

People often think freedom means having the ability to choose between different options. But sometimes freedom means refusing to let those options define you at all. Freedom does not necessarily give you more choices; it gives you liberation from being controlled by the choices imposed upon you.

True freedom is not merely the number of doors available to you. It is the ability to remain free within yourself, even when the world tries to decide which doors you are allowed to open.

How many of you are vegan or will become vegan in the future?

Hey! I'm a 22-year-old guy from india, and I'm looking for a true Indian best friend someone I can consider family, not just a friend.

I want someone I can talk to freely, laugh with, share my thoughts with, and feel completely relaxed around. If we become close, I'll always stand by you through good times and bad. Loyalty means everything to me, and I'll be there for you for as long as I live. ❤️

It would be amazing if you're someone who:

-Is kind and compassionate toward poor children.

-Has a soft spot for orphaned kids.

-Loves animals. 🐶🐱

-Is emotional, sensitive, and understands people's feelings, just like I do.

One thing about me: I don't ghost people, and I don't randomly block people either. If I ever feel that a friendship isn't working, I'll be honest and tell you directly instead of disappearing. Ghosting, unnecessary blocking, and playing immature games just aren't my thing ye sab immature logon ki kahani hai. 😅

Also, I have nothing against foreigners I already have some foreign friends. I'm simply hoping to find a genuine Indian friend, because that's the kind of friendship I'm missing in my life.

If you're looking for a real, honest, loyal, and long-term friendship, feel free to message me. 🤝❤️

So, what happened today?

I usually go to the park every evening with my 10-year-old cousin sister. I’m 22, and we were just spending some time there when I noticed a group of guys nearby. There were also several families and children around.

Those guys started joking around with each other, but the jokes quickly turned into extremely vulgar language and sl\\\*t shaming. Honestly, some of the things they were saying were so inappropriate that I’m embarrassed to even repeat them.

Like, seriously look at where you are. There are families and children around you.

I've seen the same thing happen in restaurants too. Guys sitting with their friends start using extremely vulgar language even when families are sitting nearby. I've even seen people doing the same thing on the metro and making inappropriate jokes without caring who is around.

Since when did vulgarity become comedy?

\\\*\\\*Swearing, humiliating people, and making \\\*-shaming jokes aren't automatically dark humour or comedy. You can be funny without making everyone around you uncomfortable.

I'm not saying nobody should ever swear. If you're with your close friends in a private setting, that's your choice. But when you're in a public place surrounded by families and children, have some basic awareness and manners.

Personally, I don't use that kind of language whether I'm at home, outside, or even anonymous online. I don't need vulgarity to make a joke funny.

So please, if you want to swear constantly or make extremely inappropriate jokes, keep it private.

You don't become cool by trying to uncomfortable everyone around you.

You can be funny without being disrespectful. Have some manners.

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of meetup posts on the Kanpur subreddit where people claim to be looking for meetups. However, when I check some of these profiles, they are filled with NSFW activity and posts from sexual-content-related subreddits.

This also includes some profiles claiming to be women who genuinely want to meet people in Kanpur, while many of their posts/titles suggest they are actually looking for sexual partners.

I personally experienced something similar when I posted looking for people for a birthday meetup. Most of the responses I received were from NSFW-related profiles. Out of them, only 1 girl and 3 guys seemed genuine/normal.

So whether you’re posting for a meetup yourself or going to someone else’s meetup, please be careful and properly verify the people involved.

Also, don’t blindly trust low-karma accounts or accounts with hidden posts. These can be red flags, especially when someone is asking strangers to meet.

Girls and boys, please stay cautious. Don’t share personal information, photos, your address, or agree to meet someone without properly verifying them. If you do decide to meet, prefer a public place and let someone you trust know where you’re going.

Stay safe. Aage aapki marzi.

Recently, my dog Gian passed away, and I watched him take his last breath right in front of my eyes. My Jack passed away a few months ago due to paralysis. I had four street dogs Gian, Jack, Oli, and Oggy. I used to play with them, have fun with them, and spend so much time with them. Now, only Oli and Oggy are left.

Gian had lost one of his eyes when a truck ran over him when he was a puppy, badly damaging his eye. I took him to the vet, and the vet had to remove the damaged eye. He was extremely attached to me. Whenever I showed affection to another dog, he would immediately come running over, as if saying, Love me, not anyone else.

I miss both of them so much Gian and Jack.

All four of them came into my life at a time when I didn't have any friends. They helped me a lot with my anxiety and stress. They gave me so much love, comfort, and companionship and stood by me through some of the hardest times in my life. They were there for me when I felt like I had no one.

Thank you for everything, my brothers, Gian and Jack.

I will always miss you, and you will always have a special place in my heart.
