SATISFACTION AND FREEDOM

SATISFACTION AND FREEDOM

How many people can distinguish Satisfaction and Freedom? Many cry of freedom but when they see one, they can’t distinguish. Freedom is just a word until it is acted, though freedom scheduled itself to seek and act, sometimes and many times freedom is sought before act. Freedom is happiness and there is a very clear gap between satisfaction and freedom, if you are satisfy without freedom you can only wear a mask of happiness but with freedom you are genuinely happy.

Let me picture you a beautiful story of Hassan and his Cat which illustrate meaning of satisfaction and freedom to both human and animal.

Hassan owns a beautiful cat which he cherished so much and pleased her with food, drink and plays with her time no count. The cat recognized him even in shade and knows his voice in hidden. Hassan hardly waits for 3:00pm before he left work to meet his cat waiting for him at the gate. What a beautiful relationship!

One day, Hassan woke up bathed the cat, cleaned her with clean towel and went to take his shower, after he took his shower they eat breakfast together, he fed the cat fried meat and milk in a feeding bottle and he took tea and sliced bread then he left for work as usual the cat walked him to the gate and say goodbyes.

Hassan has expected as usual to meet his cat at the gate waiting for him when he gets back from work but to his surprise he met her absent. Indifferent feeling and thought, well may be she is sleeping he murmured to himself and move inside. At the entrance of the door Hassan heard a strange noise from the house but wasn’t sure of what it may be for he has never experience his cat crying before. He was terrified when he met his cat sat down, ignored his present and lost in sober. Hassan quickly dropped his briefcase, rush to the fridge to get his cat’s favorite fried meat and milk, he tried to fed the cat with it and the cat shun both Hassan and the food. Hassan could not get the problem and have another thought, he get to the kitchen fried eggs and fish and give it to his cat but same old story.

Hassan was confused, stand still and lost in thought then he arrived at calling a doctor, may be the cat was sick. He quickly called his friend Scott who is not only a doctor but also a psychologist, he said to him its emergency. He dropped the call and patting his cat.

Some minutes later, the door bell rang and it’s Dr. Scott, Hassan hurriedly open the door excluding pleasantries and narrated what has happened so far. The doctor bend down to scrutinized and diagnosed the cat but as a psychologist he took some minute to study the mood, behavior and reaction of the cat then he noticed the crying cat focused on looking at straight while crying. The doctor asked Hassan; is that door locked? Pointing to the door adjacent the Cat, Hassan replied; yes, may be let me check, Hassan checked the door and it was locked, the doctor ask again; what is inside the room which the door was locked, it’s a place the cat used to lie and convenience herself and I don’t use to lock it, it escaped my mind Hassan replied. The doctor said to open it, without objection Hassan opened the door and…

…the cat stopped crying and started eating the fried meat and gave a familiar symbol when she wanted the milk to Hassan. The cat was freed, Hassan was happy and amazed. The doctor picked up his briefcase and left, Hassan sat down for many minutes starring at the cat till she finished the food, went straight to the opened room and lied.

If you followed my story, by now you should understand the meaning of satisfaction and freedom.

Hassan tried and made all effort to satisfy his cat who wants freedom but yet she is not happy because she only got satisfaction and not the freedom she sought and acted for.

Hassan was not only terrified and not happy with the situation he met his cat but also not knowing what really happen to the cat.

“Freedom is happiness”.

Just like when you are jobless and badly need a job to survive but there is someone who feeds you and helps you out sometimes, you will only be happy that moment the person solve your equation but doesn’t make your equation balance until you get a job and solve your own problems.

So don’t mistake satisfaction for freedom they are two different things just interwoven.

”Freedom is happiness and there is a very clear gap between satisfaction and freedom, if you are satisfy without freedom you can only wear a mask of happiness but with freedom you are genuinely happy”.
