"losing all hope... is freedom"
Losing all hope was freedom (Just to avoid that extra load on Google from those overly curios geeks)... its a dialogue from the Movie Fight Club. I stumbled upon it few days back.
Well said Tyler Durden..."Losing all hope was Freedom".
"Losing all hope is FREEDOM" this metaphor or whatever... isn't it amazing...???
its got so many truths and facts which are so simple, yet so complicated. The more I think of it... more it makes me think...
Hope... can it be used synonymously with greed...??? may be not always, but sometimes we surely can, and Greed isn't it about achieving... which in-turn could be simplified as winning.
If i need to understand what loosing is, first i have to understand what Winning is !!!
What is Win ???
Are we bound by Win ???
Is it just that feeling at the end, which inspires a journey of action ???
Are we so slave to it ???
why should one win ???
I started to think along these lines... and questions stared pouring in.
Now what is losing ???
Why are we scared of losing ???
Does losing exist if there is no desire for win ???
If there is a desire to win... To win what ??? Why ???
Does Having no desire to win, constitute as having no desire for life ???
If winning and losing are something about Competitiveness, What is it ???
Why is it so Complicated ???
Why can't competitiveness be a weakness ???
Does competitiveness account sublimely for any one of the seven sins ???
I don't have answers for any of these questions... and am getting mad than ever with these questions !!!
But whenever I keep thinking about this phrase it seems to trigger different thoughts...
Hope... is likely originated from fear or anxiety of losing something. It has been a great positive word or feeling since its inception. But I guess it's Hope again which urges our inner being to struggle, though it is defined as the confidence about the future, or a successful outcome of something emotional.
What if I lose hope of quitting smokes...
that gives me the freedom from struggle.
What if I lose hope of getting a girl...
that gives me the freedom from pain.
What if I lose hope of earning...
that gives me the freedom from spending.
What if I lose hope of living...
that gives me the freedom to live.
What if I lose hope of winning...
that gives me the freedom from losing.
Some smart - sophisticated - philosophical - motivational speakers would say it's surrendering yourself and accepting defeat. But here... my friends... i am talking about world where there is no win nor defeat.
We come across quite a few dialogues, metaphors or phrases in every walk of our life, But only few and very few leave an impression... and take you deep down on a thoughtful journey.
I know, No saying or phrase could be applied or related to all the phenomenon or circumstances, but these particular words do trigger lot of emotional thoughts.
so what i have to say is, if there is no hope, there is no losing... all you have is freedom from that particular emotion :)))
"LOSING ALL HOPE...IS FREEDOM"
so now i stop hoping... and enjoy my freedom...
am i abundantly clear ???

"Hope” is the companion of power and the mother of success, for those of us who hope strongest have within us the gift of miracles. Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you too, can become great.
There can be hope without freedom , but no freedom without hope
wonderful..... It was great...
when we lose all hopes we should be in dyanam or living like sadhu in jungle... detaching from all human relations and requirements...
but I think... Hope runs the the very Eye Blink...Heart beat...and Mind
without hope our day wont start..
bava a tikka rgv to work cheyyatam taggincheyi bavoi...
naaku em ardham kaaledhu sir :(
Man ur confused soul.. ur para's keep talking diff things.. I dun get the point ur trying to convey! RGV is influencing u Bhanu.. careful..
I enjoy contemplations like this. Hmmm ... how to tackle this question.
First, simplify:
losing hope = freedom
If you lose hope, you don't care whether you win or lose (as in the case of a fight, from your example of Fight Club), therefore you're freed of the result, the outcome. I understand that concept. But one must have hope to arrive at that moment of do or don't. Hope is what drives us. But if we can eventually let go of caring about the outcome, once we've got to that point, then we're free to accept the results of our efforts.
Does that make any sense?
i second prabhakar's n sandhya's comments... :)
take a chill pill bhanu...
and am happy that CG guru Srisailam liked it n wrote his comment... his explanation was simple... :)
Bhanu gaaru,
I don't understand why so many people did not get this post!
Or may be, I got it because I have seen the movie many times and try to follow the philosophy of Fight Club! Yes there is a lot of philosophy hidden in the movie!
The line, "losing all hope is freedom" is one of the brilliant lines said by Tyler Durden!
"losing all hope is freedom" translates to do not hope/expect/anticipate for anything AND do what you want to do! That is lose the hope of results, but ACT. When the thought of the outcome/result is eliminated, you can act or do that you want to do without any fear! This is freedom. Not fearing about the result and doing things is freedom!
You will be free to do your actions when are lose all the expectations! Of course, THE difficult aspect is losing hope! May be a few failures will make a man to lose the sight of the 'end' and just enjoy the journey freely!
The best dialogue from the movie, a brilliant insightful statement and one that is relevant to your post is "Only after you have lost everything that you are free to do anything!" Listening to this line itself gives me a HIGH!
Like some of the lines in the movie, It is left for the people to interpret it in a right context..there is a danger that a lot of people interpret "everything" as material pleasures, relationships and stuff!! The beauty of that line is revealed to the person who interprets it correctly! :)
