Freedom and Independence

Deepa Nadkarni July 31, 2025

Women were actually raised/ trained and groomed to be self-sufficient and independent. Until the concept of money became equal to freedom equal to  independence, this concept started convoluting the brains of society and especially women.

Freedom and independence are 2 different and separate entities. Even though they are used interchangeably. They are  fundamentally different. 

Freeson comes with clarity of thoughts. Building ability to take ownership of one’s own actions. Accepting the consequences of the decisions taken. 

Independence is just the ability  to take care of one’s needs and wants. They can be logical illogical, right way or wrong way,  independence can be an outcome of a helpless situation. Just because there is no other way or no one else available to support or handle one can become independent. For that matter everyone who is born and is living is one way directly or indirectly dependent how ever much they think they are independent.

For example Tiger in the cage can be independent if set free. Only because he is in the cage we think he is dependent on the owner. 

Similarly if we can break through the mental cage we have built with layers of  ignorance. We will be naturally independent.  

Freedom of choosing an option is Independence, people, especially women these days choose the dependency on maids , drivers, watchmen, technology or anything else. Do what you love and choose to outsource what you want.

The choice of whom to depend on is freedom. !

Money does play an important role in setting the free mindset. But what is needed most to be free is the purpose or reason to be free. 

Think of your reason and you are half way there.
