Life's too short for unbridled freedom

.. One only has to see the lives of Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson and other such celebrities who had it all, and from the practical standpoint, simply blue it. But this is also an over simplifying the phenomenon itself.
There was also the case of a super rich person simply committing suicide because he had done it all - everything there was that could offer pleasure - and got bored by them, and hence only had suicide left to give some thrill!

People who could rather have done so much more with their lives...

"Freedom"  is not more precious than the value of human life.
Inculcating the 4 Purusharthas (In order of priority: Duty/Charity, Wealth/Means, Pleasure/Happiness, Moksha/Spirituality) is needed very much needed in every human life, than letting life sway away like a wayward dry leaf.
So that one always has a reference or a guiding light to the order of priority and sense of purpose in each life.
Each child be taught that freedom pursued within these broad parameters is a sure guide to a fulfilling life!
