On the basis of this argument, I try to put it in perspective of the origin of our attitude of seeking free, because it seems that it is not until we have a certain anxiety that the necessity to insist on being free appears. In addition, this anxiety appears when one has difficulty in explaining the question about the appearance of things 'Why is it what it is?'show more
