Freedom: an empowering and sobering concept

[aysha]

Freedom is an empowering and sobering concept.
It gives us the opportunity to succeed, and also to fail.
Freedom allows us to make our own way in life. And
it requires that we accept the responsibility for that.

Freedom and responsibility simply cannot exist
apart from each other. You can be truly free only by
being totally responsible for your life and your actions.

Though millions have died for it, and most
would choose freedom over any alternative,
freedom can at times be very frightening.
It often imposes difficult decisions, and requires
valiant effort to maintain.

Though freedom is indisputably the best course,
it is seldom the easiest.
Yet freedom is worth the effort, for it is a human
catalyst that has no equal.

To be free means being your own person, with
your own purpose, and passion, and integrity.
And just as it has to thousands of
communities and millions of people,
true freedom can bring you greatness.
