When kindness dies, tyranny
begins to shape-shift, and grow
rapidly--usually
with deadly consequence for
all. Merchants are afraid to
drop off food at food banks for
those in need. Silent betrayal
is still complicity
and cowardice in the face
of man's inhumanity.
Freedom includes the right to
question things taking place as
terror and cruelty. You should
look at everything until
the truth is revealed to be
your own deepest feeling on
the matter. Freedom means your
right to love and be loved without
fearing for your life. To
live your joys and sorrows without
false imprisonment by
someone else's organized
philosophies of guilt and
shame getting in the way. No
hate, nor resentment, or slave
control of your thoughts and speech.
Freedom means pursuit of your
own well-being with no harm
done to anyone. The right
to protection from abuse
and violence, as a result
of corruption or greed
for power. Freedom is the
key to our highest goal, for
ourselves, our planet, and friends.
