What is freedom?
You can look at freedom several different ways. The United States defines it as the ability to to have free enterprise, free speech, and free press. All of the freedoms that they use to control the people of the United States.
Some one may define it as a dictatorship. They are free to live, and they feel that they are protected by the government from people publishing things about them, their company, or anything else that may arise.
With any freedom there comes a price. WAR! That is the price that will always be paid for any freedom.
The Wiccen Reed is something like this: An ye harm none; do what ye will. That is just part of it though. Just take that part and live by it and you will go far in my opinion. It is like the golden rule, but it just includes yourself as well. If people follow this simple rule then a lot of fighting and killing would stop, you would be free.
You must give back what you take, and only take your share. Then you owe nothing to anyone, and no one is in debt to you. I personally live by this rule, as much as I can.
There does come a time when you give so much and you just feel like you are getting nothing in return. I am at that point now. I feel like I have given so much to the company that I currently work for that I’m getting angry, and frustrated over it. This will lead me to change jobs. I can’t work in an environment where I do not feel like I’m getting my rewards.
Companies today take there employees for granted. The workers are the most over worked people on the face of the earth. We as a whole will burn out. We are so doped up on drugs that the government has to false advertise about the “War on Drugs”. A war that they will never win. Why? This is because of the approval rate at which drugs are produced. The government and doctors get kick backs from the drug companies to push drugs on people. You feel depressed, here take this little pill, but wait, this pill could cause head ache, sickness, anal seepage, erectile disfunction, and in rare cases death. It is FDA approved though so it has to be safe. I would rather take my chances with pot. It is not FDA approved though. The government doesn’t make any money from it and the drug companies and doctors are not making any money either.
So after all of that what is the cost of freedom? That depends on what you consider free. We are locked into a world where all men are controled by time. They have tried to beat time and they spend millions monthly trying to turn the clock back. You have to be here and be there on time, so that you can do something before you are rushed off to the next place. In fact I need to wrap this post up so that I will have some time to do something else.
I will leave you with this final thought. If freedom cost so much then we should call it entrapment - Life.
