Re: The Freedom
Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

Re: The Freedom
Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom.

Re: The Freedom
Anarchism has but one infallible,
unchangeable motto, "Freedom." Freedom to discover any truth, freedom to develop, to live naturally and fully. - Luccy Parsons |

Re: The Freedom
Stress less society
Freedom to speak must include Freedom not to speak. Freedom to love must include Freedom to ignore. Freedom to marry must include Freedom to divorce. Freedom to go to either pole, Or both the poles or in between. Then only could the humanity Live in a society without stress. RM.Shanmugam Chettiar. |

Re: The Freedom
Birds in a Cage
"Why do you weep?" inquired the young siskin of the old, "You're more comfortable in this cage than out in the cold." "You were born caged," said the elder, "this was your morrow; "I was free, now I'm caged—hence the cause of my sorrow." IGNACY KRASICKI (1735-1801) |

Re: The Freedom
Thanks, Burgundia, it is inspiring and matches with previous post.
Now, this Polish author made me to think about the great Polish director Krzystof Kieszlowsky and his movie trilogy "Three colors" (Blue, Red and White), where he "play" with three universal values symbolically: Blue=Equality; Red= Justice and White= Freedom. Here is a piece from Three colors: White. Two friends. One is desperate. He pays to his friend to kill him. His friend takes the money and...see how he liberate him... And music...great piece by the genius Zbigniw Preisner! |
