Freedom: it is our God given birth right, and,
simultaneously, the biggest and gravest responsibility of all. Lots of
our brothers and sisters all over the world do not have the same
luxury...many of them are even born in captivity. We, the 'free' world,
do not appreciate the freedom our forefathers shed their blood and tears
for, fought for in many a war against numerous oppressors. We
abuse our freedom wherever and whenever we like. We are free to love and marry whomever we choose, we
are just as free to divorce when things don't work out. We are free to
choose our own friends, whatever race or political beliefs. We are free
to choose our professions, whether we wish to work long and hard hours
or not have a career and spend more time with family and friends. Free. |
We have the right of free press, the right to demonstrate
against bad decisions, the right to strike when we feel mistreated. We have
the right to defend ourselves...... What do we do? We lust instead of love, and when we lust for something
else we just get up and go after it...mothers and fathers leaving their
children along the way. We make friends and mistreat them with total
disregard of truth or ethics, and then cut them off. We work and
moan...about the hours, the wages, our bosses, but don't do much to improve
our situation. When we die we never say: I wish I would have worked more... We vote, not for parties that can turn our world around,
but because we have an acquaintance or relative, or because it is a family
tradition. We say whatever we like, often without any knowledge just because
we like to hear ourselves rant, hurting many people in the process. We will
believe in anything as long as it will give us personal gain, like
forgiveness. We fill our papers and magazines with stories that we let
others censor, we let Petroula tell us the weather. And every time someone dies it was in self
defense... While pretending to excersise our rights as a free
individual, we always seem to hurt others, maybe it is time we start to take
our rights a bit more seriously, look a bit harder at the responsibilities
that go hand in hand with being free... you see, our fellow man has the same
rights to happiness, he does not need to suffer from ours. |
