What does Freedom Mean to You?

What does being free mean to you? Does it mean the right to express yourself freely and frankly? Does it mean the freedom to be yourself, to live on your terms and to hold your beliefs regardless of other opinions?

What does being free mean to you? Does it mean the right to express yourself freely and frankly? Does it mean the freedom to be yourself, to live on your terms and to hold your beliefs regardless of other opinions?

What if this right to freedom of expression and speech, the right to live a life of dignity were taken away?

Would you remain quiet if

  1. Your money was not in your control and banks were to charge you for every transaction, levy whimsical penalties?

2. If restaurants were to fleece you?

3. If your green cover were tampered with and replaced by concrete in the name of development?

4. If a saffron bearing yogi were to unleash terror and divisiveness in the name of religion?

5. If your history books were rewritten in ways that make your past a sham?

6. If people in power were to remain unaccountable?

7. If someone were to tell you what you can or cannot eat?

8. If you were to be fed propaganda instead of news?

Is it ok to pretend that you are unaware of the noose of control being tightened gradually around you? Is it ok to choose to advocate or to be blind to the annihilation of people because they don’t fit your idea of evolution?

Is it ok for all argument to be choked out of you till you fall in line?

Is it ok for your children to live in a climate of fear and repression?

Because, once you have been silenced, there will be no coming back. Your impulse to fight back would be destroyed. Your right to question would be considered laughable and very soon you won’t know the difference between being free and being a conscientious tax paying citizen number.

A. Puppet. On. A. String.

It will be too late.

Yours, if you want me
Your Right to Freedom
