Freedom as I have come to understand it is not cheap. It comes with a very high price. If you observe History, you will see and come to understand this...Freedom from what, for what, how and why, and (lastly but surely in no way the lesser) FOR WHO reigns supreme in my mind as to how it comes about. But when and/or if something is aimed to obstruct the pursuit of it (FREEDOM), what would you be willing to do to remove the obstruction; ie open a dialogue, run, sell out, sell off, fight back? This is the cost one pays for freedom. And who's to blame when it turns out all wrong, and who gets the accolades when everything works to serve? Surely, forgiveness plays a big part in liberating our minds from the shackles working to keep one in a rut.... What comes to my mind is 911...and how one could have taken that time to chastise that which in my own opinion, has come to be known as a flaw in this, the pursuit of FREEDOM....sometimes only time will tell who's free. Thank you. As I read this, I felt an urge to search my own thoughts about the feelings you have too, in an effort to assess my own thoughts about these things you make mention of.
