Freedom and Love 自由与爱

一点感触。

freedom brings love and gratitude; constraint, restrain, hamper,bondage, bring hurt, resentment and angry.

or we can say, love and gratitude are the natureal propertities of human, when we are not constrainted by anything, the love and gratitude will overflow by themselves naturially.
only when we are constrained, we feel uncomfort, resent, or angry.

The problem is "who is constraining you". this is a typical question of Zen Master.
the constrain can come from outside and inside, most people will only see the constraint from outside, and that's why they keep fighting each other, 
but the true cause of constrain is from inside based on the Buddha's teaching.

Actually, People cannot constrain our true selves, they can only constrain form and shape, spirit or material form. 

The reason we may feel be constrainted when others force some form and shape, is because we are attached to that specific form.

The process is:   we identify ourselves to a form, the form is changing by itself or being forced to change by outside, then we feel "we” are forced to change or "we" are constrainted and can not change freely.

so the Buddha's way of liberation is to see the root cause  by awareing the identification process (identify ourselves to specific spiritial or material form) rather then to ask the outsider to give up constrain.
