Is It Possible To Be Free Without Morality Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

I was brought up to believe in this country, believing that this is the country where we are truly free. How does one truly define freedom? A question that indeed must be asked again. Indeed there are many varieties and avenues in which it travels. From religion standpoint, from an political stand point, from a foreign stand point, from a kids stand point, from class stand point, from an institutions standpoint, from an individual standpoint. It a logistical nightmare to even try to define it in a paragraph or two.

Freedom is the holy grail we all cling to for the right to do what we want as long as it doesn't impede on others such rights. But how do we define this impeding? This vague interference that no one in this country seems understand. From the individual all the way to the top we are impeding on each other. In fact we made it into a competition. Where the winner is the one who impedes the most. The desire to be better off then another human by destroying there rights. We are taught this from very young age in very simplistic ways. T.v. promotes it everyday, in advertisements, movies, t.v. shows, even
reality t.v. ect.

Fair and equal opportunity, again is very vague and is very limited in scope in this country. To succeed somebody must fail. That is how I define it. It does matter how they fail. We are not taught the importance of that. The importance of integrity. Do you buy the home that was just illegally foreclosed on by a bank, do you ignore the fact of what they did and continue on your marry little way to the perfect utopia. Or do you walk away from the deal of a life time knowing you did the right thing or even better yet do you buy the home back for them because you don't see it as equal and
fair.

This is the crossroads of morality and indifference. We live there every day. Some doing what ever they can to help, while others doing what ever they can do to hinder others. Freedom is constant battle, not because it can't be won, but because people ignore importance of it. If you ignore it will go away mentality.

While it concerns a minority, the majority could care less even those living poverty that was caused by the very denial of any and all freedoms. Why is that? because they either believe they can't do nothing about it. Or believe what they have been told over again and again. It is a race to finish line with people armed with every weapon they can get there hands on to give them the competitive edge. It doesn't matter who gets hurt, or what is lost in the process. This is the world as I see it.
