FREEDOM: FREE from world’s DOMination
“Your freedom should rest on
your hands, not on someone else.”
This statement of Sir Alcabasa on
his blog completely summarizes the real essence of having FREEDOM on our hands
and what we should do with our FREEDOM so that it would be used efficiently.
When we are still diaper denizens
and belong to the knee-high crowd, our freedom is just limited. There are many
rules bounded for us to follow: what we should eat, wear, do, and whom to talk.
Why? It is brought by the fact that young as we are, we’re not yet ready to
face the corresponding consequences of our actions that’s why they’re protecting
us and giving us those restrictions. But now, that I'm officially about to enter in “the
preparation for the real world” in College then I will later on experience the
real world, the restrictions will one by one be eliminated, for as I grow up, I mature and become completely independent and be away from the shadows of my
parents. Sounds difficult, right? No one will be put on the blame but only
YOURSELF. You read it right. You, yourself and you.
But this isn’t just the sole issue here;
RESPONSIBLE USE OF FREEDOM is also the talk of the town every time freedom is
brought as the topic. Like in the mathematical equations, if you add something
on the left side, you will add also on the right side. In responsible use of
freedom, it should follow the line of Peter Parker in Spiderman The Movie: “With great power comes great
responsibility.” It only means that our privilege to be free as a nation,
freedom to live, freedom to acquire basic needs, freedom of expression and many
more, has an equivalent duty to be fulfilled. For example, the freedom of
speech, we’re free to speak up when we know that we’re right and if we see any
anomalies but we should be careful, no, not just careful, but EXTRA CAREFUL not
to hurt any reputation and credibility of other people. Another one is the
freedom to acquire basic needs, we humans avail of those on our everyday
living, but we should remember to WORK HARD for it and not to step up with
other people’s dignity.
There are many other ways on how to
promote, implement and protect our freedom. We should keep in
mind that RESPONSIBLE IMPLEMENTATION OF FREEDOM will make us more independent
and not underdogs of other people.
As I end this, I want to share with
you a quote to fonder on. Here it is:
“Between
stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose
our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” -Viktor E. Frankl
