What is freedom?
Most people think freedom means
external action that they enjoy like free to move around, free to eat, to
drink, to talk and some times even doing nothing. Yes all these are part of
freedom but real freedom is not narrow which is only with the things we feel
satisfaction but more than these external reality. People who seek freedom in
external way will end up of the consequences of the external situation but
those who seek beyond it will find it that no one can snatches away.
For me freedom is not from
things that we experience or we received in our lives but it is an internal
force which is one clearly finds and experiences. No one can take this freedom
from and individual because it is one’s own choice. To be free or not to be
free is one’s own choices where he/she can decide. Here I would like to quote
the best example about a person who is free in spite of all the external
sufferings. He is non other than Victor Frankle who did once said quoting
Niche,” He who has the why to live for can cope with almost any how”. In him we
can see freedom personification and this is the fact of the people who are freedom
personified. A free person from his inner self can see hope even in a most
hopeless situation. Therefore freedom is not a freedom from punishment or duty
but it is from the decision that one has made in spite of all obstacles and yet
fines a peace and serenity. Freedom is contradiction to external condition.
Another person whom we can called a freedom personified is Nelson Mandela who once said after coming out from the prison when
a certain journalist had asked him and his reply was this ,” when I left the
prison’s gate I have forgave them because if have not forgave them then I would
be still in that bar”. Thus freedom is the ability to choose to forgive and to
love even to those who inflict pains to us.
