A popular saying goes:"Your freedom ends where mine begins." All of us have our
own prerception, thoughts and definition of being free. For a child, freedom
means to be loved and cared by parents or having sweets everyday. For a prisoner,
being out of the jail means freedom to him or her. For a
teenager, freedom means all day surfing on the internet, no classes, and hanging
out with friends. According to John F. Kennedy, "The best road to
progess is freedom's road." For me the definition of freedom is the state of mind,
that being free means the power to create your own existence in this world.
You cannot move forward or progress if your mind is being trapped by doubts, anger,
sadness, and cruelty in this world. Labeling yourself as free person means, you
learned from your mistakes, you released the pain where peace comes out. Sometimes
insecurity traps us, feeling like in a cage trying to find a way to escape
where we need internal freedom. Self-control is what must have wherein balance,
calmness, determination and confidence are the key to be free.
Jim Morrison once said, "The most important kind of freedom is to be what you
really are." FREEDOM IS IN YOUR INNER BEING, freedom does not mean license, but
the
wisdom to choose what is right for oneself, so it is a choice to live and face the
world.
The value of freedom is more than just "free to do whatever I want" but it is a
responsibility. Doing what we love because it is what we ought to do and what God
wants for us,
because for the value of freedom, there is often war inside between what we want
and what we need. Freedom isn't about living freely, but to ensure respect freedom
as everyone
in society has it and you have to be a human. Quanto mais liberdade, mais
responsabilidade, the more freedom you have, the more responsibility you face. To
be free to do what
is right, we have to first be able to learn 'repect' and cultivate maturity and
wisdom to be aware of repercussions in our actions. We must become a responsible
human being that
this benevolent world desires.
