The concept of freedom or liberation doesn't make any sense if we can't be free(or can't escape the harsh truth of life, death). We humans are not aware of divination and what comes after death. So, we can't just disclose the facts as complicated, chronological, and idiosyncratic as "Freedom" or "Independence" Since divination violates emancipation, if we believe in the latter, that means we do not trust divination. That also symbolizes the fact that we are disputing against divination, which includes death bridging the gap when a life meets life. Thereby, being negligent of the fact how omnipotent "death" is, we happen to blur our vision, accept the lies, and tend to mingle lies with truth: the concept of emancipation and mere escapism.
