Proof is only valid if those who requested it accept it as such. Otherwise no proof is valid.

Ask an insane person, somone that is truly insane, if they are insane, and they will tell you; "No I am fine." They have no concept of insanity. To them they are normal.

A mind that truly belives it is free can not grasp the concept that it is not free. It will ask for proof, even though the proof that it is seeking has already been provided by asking the question itself.

"Am I insane"? If you can ask the question then your open to the possiblity that the answer might be yes, or even no. An insane person will never ask if s/he is insane, because to them there is no question, the very concept of insanity is unthinkable.

Ask yourself if your mind is truly free. By asking such a question, you acknowledge that your mind is open and therefore knows that the possablity that it is not actually free my in fact be the answer. A mind free of unhappiness and incapbled of experiencing any other emotion would not want to accept any emotion other than happiness. A mind that knows that it is not free from saddness understands that happiness is a tempory emotion that is a pleasent part of life. It knows that life has its ups and downs and that it will experience from time to time complete joy and utter despair. Our minds are only truly free when we realize that such freedom does not come free from cost.
