LIBERTY
All men are born free, all men are supposed to live free, but some men have inherited restrictions, and bondage either through imposition or self sabotaging actions and behaviors. Freedom is the birth right of every man, and every man deserves to be free, but some men like Abraham Lincoln said, "Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves“.
We must not take for granted the liberty of ourselves or others, we must also not trade our liberty on the counter of safety, for where there is no liberty, safety can not reside. One man's liberty does not supercede another man's rights, we are all equal in rights and liberty, we can not consider ourselves free when we hold in bondage our fellow man.
Our liberty to do whatever we like or want to do does not give us the liberty to trample our fellow men, it does not give us the right not to do right to all men at all times. Nelson Mandela once said, "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others". If our freedom hinders the freedom others, we are not truly free.
We must collectively seek and fight for the liberty and freedom of all, no one is truly free until all is free, and there is no restriction to what one can do as long as one does not do wrong. In the words of John F. Kennedy "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." Everyone must be free, everyone deserves LIBERTY.
