What is freedom? What is the price for freedom and how much does it cost? Well, someone, or, even better, majority are thinking of slavery, discrimination, abhorrence, greed for power and survival for the fittest as incidences of the far past. We are free, a theme song for each day. It has become food to the hungry, clothing to the naked and shelter to the homeless.
Blessed be our ancestors and predecessors for paying the price of freedom. This we say with great respect and pleasure for them heroes with special days set for the celebrations. Not to say that we should not celebrate neither do I denounce the heroes, no! I respect and celebrate our heroes’ sacrifice, that I do just like any other patriot.
Our ancestors and predecessors did their best to bring us freedom. What they never did was to pay for the freedom in full. You see, freedom is a body that needs to be fed regularly to stay healthy. It is not that we do not feed this so-called freedom, veto. Actually, we overfeed the so-called freedom. So much so that, we never realized when it began feeding on us.
Whenever the so-called freedom feeds, we get terror, fear, pain and grief, losing lives in return. Blood is the tool of trade. The price we choose to pay for the so-called freedom. It has fed on blood long enough that it is now a mutated carnivorous. Slavery in shadows, the mutation of that which our ancestors and predecessors fought so much to weaken.
The true price and value of true freedom is love. Whoever takes love for the tool of trade shall find freedom. If we feed love to freedom, we shall get life and lose terror, fear, pain and grief.
True freedom is love and the price for freedom is love, which certainly costs nothing. Life is freedom and freedom is life. Life is love and love is life. Give love for freedom and freedom will give life! Freedom is power and power is freedom.
