Illusive freedom 2

We live in a relative world but we seek for the absolute. We can never find it in the normal reality. But it is no problem. We have the freedom of seeking the better and better. It is good enough.

For example, in art we have unlimited freedom. The artist can paint anything on the pure canvas. But is every painting the best? No, not necessarily.

There is no absolute way to measure the quality of a painting, but there are relative ways. They are all related to mind. And it is a true difference in value between the best and the almost best.

All of us are not experts in art, but many of us have recently seen on television Idol-type programs where good and best artists meet and can be compared. 

This is the attitude we could have to all open issues, be they art, politics, ethics and whatever: use the freedom to seek out the best.

Traditional moral debate, or debate about security services or military activity, is often about how bad and brutal we can be. This kind of debate is a dead end.

Freedom is not there to be misused, but to be used in a positive way.
