Free time

I have never felt so empowered, and yet so slavish to the inner need and urge for self discipline. I have always known, my temperament howsoever lacking or abundant in work ethic can only do as much harm in times of responsibilities and commitments as is their significance in my life, which may well be viewed as a series of such innumerable, nearing insignificance, commitments. While lack of discipline in free time is worrying not only for its notoriety of introducing the best of tamed minds to the worst of imaginable hungers and thirsts but for the high possibility, of missing this vast potential to discover and redefine oneself, amidst the prevalence of one's free will and anarchic tendencies.

If a man's time were divided into 2 heads, A being the time dedicated to standing upto responsibilities and commitments and B denoting his free time, then It is no wonder to be amazed by the immensely vital yet unrecognized role the latter plays in an average man's life. What we do in our free time, is not only what has emerged out victorious from the ever going struggle for its dominance between our passions, desires, rationalities and capabilities, but also happens to be an attribute something whose role in carving our character can hardly be overemphasized. Our activities in our free time not only help us explore and even identify us for others and ourselves but also constantly influence our overall happiness. Free time, I firmly believe, is the greatest empowering asset one can ever have yet at the same time be the most dreadfully devastating liability too.
