freedom

I made a mistake! after I wrote about "freedom is all what the commoners want" yesterday, I was burdened by the meaning of 'freedom'. I believe freedom is the last thing oppressor will give to us. they would bribe us, threat us, demean us etc just to rob the freedom from us. make no mistake.. I'm no politician or aristocrat. I'm a commoner.

I remember lyric from a song called 'Civil War' by Guns N' Roses on freedom. it says "That you can't trust freedom, When it's not in your hands". on this note, Martin Luther King Jr. said "Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed". on the same tune, Ronald Reagan once said

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same". and so many thoughts  on the meaning and desire for freedom. it is an easy desire, but it is not an easy struggle.


so when does a commoners has his or her freedom given all the oppression. I guess I must turn to a speech by one of opposition figures in my country "they can jailed my body but not my mind".

pretty heavy stuff, eh?
