shortcuts to FREEDOM?

Entering stress-FREEDOM into Googl I made a mistake: instead of .net I typed: .com.

A whole new world towards FREEDOM opened its gates for Galenios’s wide opened eyes!

First I was offered in English Español Français 中文 Deutsch Português 日本語 Nederlands Italiano 한국어 to Bookmark this page or Make this your homepage and then to make another choice:

Stress/FreedomEas/ReedBusiness/ Opportunity/Money/Work From Home/Work At Home/Home Business

Of course I headed for no less than freedom.

I was assured to get: What you need, when you need it again in English Español Français 中文 Deutsch Português 日本語 Nederlands Italiano 한국어 again asked politely to Bookmark this page Make this your homepage .

And then at final last the paths towards freedom were revealed:

  • Hama freedom Günstig/Hama Freedom nur € 99. Technik zum Top-Preis!
  • Get Better Bank Rates/Compare Rates on CDs, Interest Checking, Savings, Mortgages, Home Equity Loans, Credit Cards and More!

  • freedom bei Shopping.com/Vergleichen Sie – und machen Sie Ihr Schnäppchen.

So the way of Galenios’s defreezing and serving up Epicurus’s teaching-food for stress-FREEDOM seekers seems to be too long and weary compared to the popular shortcut: buy more things.

Epicurus had a totally different stance and the Beatles propagated the Epicurean attitude:

“Buy, buy, says the sign in the shopwindow /Why, why, says the junk in the yard.”

If you are more of a watcher than a reader, take a look at Alain de Botton’s presenting Epicurus’s way to Happiness in youtube:

love sets you unfree

“Liebe macht unfrei» [„love sets you unfree"] is the title of an interview Peer Teuwsen made with Esther Vilar

|< German link: http://www.weltwoche.ch/artikel/?AssetID=18015&CategoryID=79 >

The idolatrous state of slavery produced by infatuation [= romantic love] is a one of Vilar’s important sub-themes within the central theme of freedom vs. slavery.  Liebe macht immer unfrei. Das ist eine Religion mit der kleinstmöglichen Gemeinde. Gott und Anbeter im Verhältnis eins zu eins.” [„Love will always set you unfree. It is a religion with the smallest possible congregation.  God and Worshipper in a ratio of 1 to 1."]

Epicurus warned against this kind of slavery 2300 years ago already – for the vast majority in vain.
