Anarchy

I have been watching a series called Sons of Anarchy.... nice stuff... led me to read about anarchy...before today, I always associated anarchy with chaos, infact the kind of definition that i had read, seem to give a negative connotation to the word.... read up some stuff on wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy ... that and the series (parts of it) gave a whole new meaning to me...

I was reminded of a conversation:
P1: capital society is not a good thing
P2: its the best among all the available options

Now the fun part... how is the conversation and anarchy related... they are, and so is the post on freedom... well not the post, but the idea behind the post....

Freedom

Freedom does not exist.. No thoughts are original.. Whatever crap I am writing is not original.. I think its original.. But this is far from the truth.. My thoughts are not mine.. Infact nothing is in my control.. I am powerless.. Whatever happens, happens for a reason.. I am just a cluster of thoughts which existed before me or are existing as of now.. I am just a response to the happenings around me.. I am an outcome of environment.. My likes and dislikes have been trained.. My feelings are trained.. My instincts - .. Is it trained.. But whatever "instincts" mean, they are not in my control.. Whats right whats wrong if nothing is in my control.. Why am I held responsible for my acts when my acts are not mine in the first place.. I live because I am not dead.. I can not die because "instincts" dont allow me.. Here we go again.. I need to understand "instincts".. By the way this is a need which is not mine... I am forced to understand "instincts".. Though I am pretty sure, "instincts" are also not free!
