Have you ever had the chance to watch a bird fly from a tree
branch, to land on the electricity wires and swim freely and carelessly under
the blue sky? When I watch such a scene, I do that with all my senses, feeling
that part of my soul swims with this bird it and roves freely in the sky. What
an amazing feeling, which leaves me thinking that God’s creations must have all
been born free.

The search for freedom is what fuels human desire for
progress and achievement, and, consequently, and for staying alive.
Aiming towards freedom and the dire need to maintain this
feeling is the reason why many feel so frustrated from the
lockdown, resent
limitations, and constantly demand for their voices to be heard in the name of
freedom of speech, of thinking, of questioning, and of the right to have
answers.
Freedom in my understanding is not only the ability to
think, but more to question. It is not only the capability to talk, but more to
obtain the skill of listening. The exposure masses have to the enormous amount
of information we find on the social media, leaves few capable of making their
own independent decisions, and they are left with a sense of pseudo-freedom.
Freedom is the equivalent of dignity, since this must have
been one of the few elements that differentiate man from the rest of the
creatures. As noble and worthy, freedom
dissolves where insolence arises. And as
such, the opposite of freedom is terrorism, violence, and hate speech.
In politics – life is all about politics – it first
materializes in dialogue, the element needed now more than ever everywhere. It
makes no difference the many degrees a person holds, if there is not the
ability to listen. Pride binds. Ignorance ruins. Lack of empathy destroys.
Though freedom is seldom in times of crises, it is most of
the time a personal decision to turn to the inner space where a person may
escape the external coercion to truly feel free. It does not necessarily mean isolation form
society.
If searched for, freedom will not be formed with letters, or
found in words and sentences. It is found in the tweeting of the birds, in
singing and dancing, in music-playing, and in praying. Freedom is when you give
a needy without expecting anything in return, give love without limits, and
have the ability to smile from the heart. This demands self-awareness and maturity; but in our current times, many
speak and only few tend to listen, troubled by the noise the crowd is making,
talking much, but truly saying nothing.
