Who has the power to oppose freedom? Is there a need to curb
freedom? Do we all really understand the meaning of freedom?
The dictionary explains the word freedom beautifully and
very clearly; it says freedom is the right to live in the way you want, say
what you think, and make your own decisions without being controlled by anyone
else. It is so amazingly apt that the word ‘right’ is used in the definition of
freedom. The Right to Freedom!
But because of some terribly silly causes we are still
devoid of freedom, freedom in the truest sense. Layers and layers of senseless
questions, which at times have proved to be highly sensitive and superbly great
ones, have given birth to a confusing labyrinth whose starting point and finishing
point is the same.
The rise and the fall of epic revolutions all over the
world, the deadly wars fought loudly with a bang and quietly with the money,
capitalism, fascism, liberalism and the rest of the -isms, socialists,
communists, anarchists and all the other –ists, democrats, monarchs, elites and
the general public in question, knows it very clearly (especially when things
come to a sudden halt [usually after a huge fight]) that all of it is a big
mess.
Haven’t you heard of this show – A Big Mess; The Puppeteer –
few rich blokes and the Puppets – rest of us? It was made into a film a long
time back and strangely, it is still running successfully.
Fortunately, there are many individuals all around the world
who get a chance to know freedom, but unfortunately they still have to face the
above mentioned confusing labyrinth. Nevertheless, such people, knowingly and
in a simple way, bring a change… they keep walking silently.
Nothing ties them because they know how to break the
shackles, nothing makes them weak because they have the power of reason and
nothing confuses them because they practice freedom.
Every question fails to exist in front of the power of
freedom. Whether the exuberance is limited or is for an entire lifetime, the
free soul soars high.
A happy fact is also associated with freedom and it is that
of equality. Freedom is meant for all, without any discrimination, without any
prejudice it stands boldly, waiting for every single hand to reach it with a
free mind.

I so agree with the connect b/w freedom and equality. Written with so much of thoughtfulness...each word holds a panache, a meaning of its own...in fact to put it more aptly: each word of this post reflects its freedom. :)
ReplyDeleteThis post was more straight forward (logically consistent?) than some of your other posts. I mean it was easy for me to understand. More classic than romantic.
ReplyDeleteThoughtfulness is something great, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSuch topics can easily cause confusion; I am happy that this post didn't. At least for you. Thank you Maswal.
Thank you Eddy. Good for me that it holds clarity.
