Dear Ravi:

I like this sentence very much: “I want to qualify this exam and then strive for freedom.”

As I read your short post about the dynamic in your home, I felt some anger and started typing … but then deleted. What is the point? I can’t change what is happening in your home and you can’t change what is happening between your parents and grandmother. This kind of bullying between family members as in your home is not unusual, not the specifics in your home, but bullying in homes is very common. But children don’t know it can be different, and as you never lived outside your home, you probably thought nothing much of it. But can you imagine now how different things can be for you?

The home that you will have someday, there will be no bullies in it, no prisoners. Nobody throwing tantrums on a regular basis so to bully the others, no arguments, no fuss… You can make the rules of your own home. This is what freedom is about: you make the rules in your own home.

Do study then, calmly, with all your brain power. Freedom is a worthy pursuit.
