Freedom

Freedom ? What is freedom? Is it the not being in a chain? Or tied up ? Or is it something more? What is freedom? Is it the ability to vote for your leader? Or is it just being alive? Is freedom simple or complex? How could anything be simple ,but freedom is.Our forefather were able to write it down on parchment.But, does that describe freedom?How does freedom really feel ,if you never felt? Do you even know what freedom is. Could this word be this powerful ? A word that can take away chains and collars.Make every man,his own master.21

Though are we free? Are we ever free?Your parents tell you to follow the rules and society makes you follow the rules.We forced to learn the good and the bad of what our parents believe.Is anyone every free to make up his or her own mind? We could be slaves to are parents religion.We never question it without thinking of it.Or do we?Will one break the chains and find their freedom? Will anyone every want freedom?Will we show our parents and their gods that we are not their slaves?And we will chose to believe in them only if we want? 32

If we take of the chain from the preachers will we take off the collar from the other teachers? Will we show society that we will dress how we want? Not in a bikini or a burka,unless we chose.Or will we let them cover us however they want? Will we walk down the runways in high heels? Are we slaves to fashion? Is this or bondage? 43

If we took off this bondage what would we face? Should we test the waters? And if we shed this bondage what is next?Is this our freedom? Or is it something more? Will we ever know freedom?We are punished by our masters if we do not obey.They wear different masks some wear suits and some badges. We fear our masters' whips.And their punishments is what makes their world continue.We may never be in control.But, if we could show them one time that we are not their slaves,what would that ensue? Would we ever again need to fear our masters' whips? Will the roles we play be reversed ? Or will just be played like pawns on a chessboard,and let to rot in our masters' cages?Is anarchy our freedom? Do we resign ourselves to this slavery,and seek nothing more?54

We are salves to the coin. We will do anything for it We will let others be our masters just for coin.And this makes us slaves to our own system,if you have alot or alittle you are a slave.If you have alot you hold money dear and will not let go of it.If you are lacking money ,you are striving for it.Can our freedom be bought and sold? 65

Is this freedom? Perhaps freedom is only an idea ,and will only be that.An illusion or rather a dream that is not true ,no matter how hard we wish for it.If were to be freed of one master, we would only realize another.We are all slaves to everyone no matter our position ,because we are all slaves to ourselves.Our bodies force us to sleep when we don't want to sleep .Or eat when we don't want to eat.Our bodies makes us see things we would rather not.And feel the pain of being a slave.We are all slaves ,because we will never do anything more than talk our own fears keeps us enslaved.We will never know freedom ,for no-one is brave enough to stand aganist themselves. We can talk and write all we want but we will do nothing.We will bend to others' wills,just so that things will remain how they always remained.We're to scared to to take up a sword so instead we take up the pen.And we write about what could be .Yet, we do nothing but write.We are slaves to everyone,but mainly ourselves.Our cowardice,our greed ,and our envy of our masters. Can you even say what freedom is? So, how can we be free? So I ask, What is freedom?

    3rd paragraph there is a typo "hells" should be heels I think since you where talking about fashion.

    Now freedom...What is it? Quite simply an illusion, something that could never exist for the reasons mentioned. For our bodies will always control us and our hearts will always be our one true slave. I'm a slave because I love, but I love because i'm human, i'm human therefore i'm a slave..a paradox? Yes. Freedom could never exist because everything in this world is the opposite of freedom, as you said cowardice, greed and envy are what controls every man, woman & child. No matter how 'good' we try to be, we could never stop being cowardice, greedy or envious because that is what makes us alive. All animals, humans....everything living consists of one of those three. I'm greedy because I crave love...the more the better. I'm envious because others are so much happier. I'm a coward because i'm human, always something there that I would lack the courage to face....I could carry this on more but this is already long enough and i'm sure you wouldn't want to read...plus i'm sure you get the idea.

  • I've enjoyed reading this.Freedom is a vast topic and there is so much to talk about.We can't define freedom with a single word.But the only place when we are free is our mind.Nicely done.With few changes would be a good essay.
