I am a passionate individual and feel strongly about a lot of things. But if I have to pin one thing, it is the freedom of individuals. I am a big supporter of a free world and power of people.
I have had arguments with friends and acquaintances about what is freedom and restriction of freedom in certain circumstances. But I don’t believe in that. I would choose freedom over anything else. History has taught us that power corrupts and we are all flawed human beings. Governments are made of these flawed individuals. They are made to govern and not rule.
I became even more conscious of freedom and the right to it when COVID hit. In one swoop, government was able to restrict our movement, get us vaccinated, ensure we didn’t leave our homes and even lock our borders under the garb of our well being and greater good. While it was an unprecedented time and some of it was warranted, it stripped us of our basic rights in one swoop. It made me realise how precious freedom is and what a privilege it is to live in a free thinking world.
Freedom has unintended consequences and so many times we want to discipline and control. But that is where law and order comes in. I wold fight for freedom and always support the rights of people who are not free. In my eyes, it is a basic human right and should be given to all humans, in all circumstances.
Free world is a humanist world.
