The most successful development a person can become, is being their own. We achieve this because of free choice. To choose our thinking and learning, our thoughts and responsibilities. The thinking of a person responsible for their thoughts and their affect upon what they choose to learn and become.
Consider then the thinking of bondage. The thinking of a person enslaved by a situation of being without freedom. A situation because those enslaved haven't learned. Freedom, like the learning of self, needs direction, a process of learning.
Learning begins as an involvement of thinking. The use of thinking to begin learning.
This idea of learning to think, that creates the needed thinking to learn, began with the Israelites at Mt. Sinai. When God gave to Moses law, The Ten Commandments, for the Israelites to create a transition from bondage to freedom. That is, to think.
Thinking created the development of freedom. The thinking and learning of each person in becoming and being their own.
For myself, choosing to live within the parameters of law that are good and true, of law limiting behavior without limiting freedom and the development of freedom, began a thinking and learning of self.
A choosing to learn of the self, while simultaneously thinking and learning of law, created an effective development. The learning of self, who I am, while learning the responsibility of self, what I am.
A thinking of love and faith, and of happiness and effectiveness that begins from within. A learning in the becoming of being me, the freedom of self.
My writing the above is but one perspective of the individual responsibility involved in the freedom of becoming one's own.
Then we have people unable to live within the limits of law. They commit acts of murder, adultery, stealing, lying, and coveting. A failure of thinking where people give up their responsibility of self to commit an act that takes from them their freedom of self. They create a limit, bondage, instead of becoming their own.
Think of then, of love. Being one's own begins a self-love, a caring for the self. What a person feels when they have a sense of value that began in the development of self, needed to begin relationships.
A development where each person brings into a relationship the thoughts and ideas of I or me, and the freedom and love from being their own. What they have thought of, chose, and developed, as ideas for a relationship.
So now, each person in a relationship has a sense of I and us, existing with freedom and love. For the relationship to be healthy and become more, there needs to be within each person a balance of their sense of I and of us.
This begins another development of thinking.
