Freedom

Who is really free?
The answer is, the one who really knows what freedom is.
Freedom is not just being free to do whatever you like, cause freedom never comes for free. It beholds many stories; told & untold: of heroes, martyrs and visionaries.
Freedom is a power, and power warrants for a great sense of responsibility, this responsibility comes to those who really know how to use it for good. And this comes only through education; in all forms. The eyes cant see what the mind doesn't know.

Freedom in wrong hands is a bizarre thing. Freedom without knowledge makes way in the making of a black hole, that sucks in all wise people, without their wisdom being utilized for upliftment of the society in various spheres.

Real freedom creates values: values that propagate through generations, values that earn good name for the society & nation; values that get imbibed into our lives as great customs, practices, protocols & philosophies.

Freedom is something that is worth fighting for. The ones who really don't know all modalities of freedom, can never fight for, they would rather enjoy bondage. They would gradually form a pathway to oblivion and if such people become prevalent in society, great nations ultimately perish.

Our Social Responsibilities: Don't Shy Away

At times some of us wake up and start talking about charity, philanthropy, moral values, human rights, corruption, religion and many more things. Good sign; whenever such things prevail, they are definitely commendable. Whoever opens his/her eyes to these things, can definitely do something good when motivated. Many movements, inspirational initiatives take place when such motivated people start planning greatly, with an aim to put an impression in the long walk of mankind.

The biggest welfare activity that a person can do for the society is abstaining from bad deeds. Not necessarily one has to be a hero to be a person with great social responsibilities, but one must be flawless. Great sense of moral values are definitely required, great lessons of simplicity will take many people towards such completeness.

All societies do mature, so do all countries, all communities, this must be the directions of all personalities in modern world; towards maturity, tolerance and assertiveness; all must coexist in good proportions. Questioning the current trends, faiths, beliefs, practice and knowledge has always been the starting point of many inventions, discoveries and innovations. In olden times it was difficult, sometimes deadly as we have heard the stories of some great inventors being punished by their contemporaries for creating a difference in the then set trends, but the world has moved on and new things have come into being, the beliefs of mankind has continued the voyage towards completeness, equality, freedom and independence.

The biggest drawbacks have been weak people who want easy comfort, trying to bypass the deserving in a futile attempt to achieve easy success. Such people, at times cant handle situations and create burden for the rest of the world, and future generations, history has always put them in unlit corners.

Key to all good things, is Education. Education to be strong enough to call a spade a spade and being able to  maintain the stance, without being unmoved by antagonizing forces. The education that brings in great sense of responsibility in proportion to great power, to win friends, maintain transparency and eradicate the darkness created by unscrupulous people.

Do we take steps in living such a life everyday? Shouldn't we?
