FREEDOM

To be independent is to be free and to be free is to be able to do what you want to do. But to do what you like doesn't mean you'll do anything just because you feel like doing it and you think you feel good actually doing it.

There are norms of standard to follow: Personal, social and moral. How do you do what you want to do separates the men from the boys and the women from the girls.

After so many years of being independent there are so many things that we are free to do, and we are overdoing to the extremes. Look at our leaders, look at our officials, look at our teachers, look at our students, look at our movies and look at our media. Look at graft and corruption all around even inside some churches.

There is so much freedom in all aspects of our society that we allow ourselves freedom to go to the dogs and finally we may even allow ourselves to go to hell.

Before Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed there was so much freedom; there was complete independence. Freedom and independence were also the reason for the universal sin that triggered the universal deluge.

It is not good to be slaves for slavery is nothing but curtailment of freedom and independence. Let us not be slaves but let us use our freedom to do good and in doing well let us help others do well too.
