Pieces Of Freedom Comments

Based on my personal perception of Freedom and the significance it holds in my life.

What does 'Freedom' mean to you? Personally I believe its not only enjoying basic human rights but celebrating actual freedom everyday. The downside being that it is an everyday thing for us that we tend to forget the significance of it and reduce it to 'ordinary' when in fact its the most extraordinary, most divine God given sanctified gift we have. Our free will so precious that our Creator Almighty will not sway or manipulate it in any way. Yet mere mortals dictate enslave and brainwash attempting to do what not even God himself can do, ripping from you, your right to speak, to do and most importantly to choose your own path. Stealing your birthright to experience life, love, humanity in the way God intended...as a free human being only submissive to Him. There is a reason why we received the 10 commandments 'thou shall not take any gods except One God, thou shall not create images of God, Thou shall not kill or steal or lie, honour thy parents, love thy neighbour, thou shall not covet thy neighbours wife or possessions, thou shall not commit adultery' 10 simple rules to being the best human beings we can be. If only leaders around the world as well as the people could remember this when they are senselessly killing innocents in wars for territory that belongs to neither of them solely fighting as if its their personal property. Invading defenceless countries justifying Declaration of War by spewing lies, inciting fear and hatred.
Ex-terminating people young and old without an ounce of remorse All this bloodshed not for religion or beliefs and definitely not holy as no one is forcing you to renounce your God and faith, no the reason for all this tragedy I'm afraid is for something as trivial as financial gain, like rabid dogs foaming at the mouth to ravish and exhaust the natural resources of the area as quick as possible. Abandoning it as soon as all the resources have been depleted leaving nothing behind. For example Take the Gaza conflict Israel and Palestine at war for hundreds of years fighting for God alone knows what-im certain if you ask them the when and why they would be unable to answer because they simply don't know. They are raised to hate and fight no cause or reason needed. So they kill and worst of all they kill in Gods name. If they really fear God there would be no dictators, no killing no fighting over worldly possessions-they would know not to fight but rather find a solution which will allow everyone to peacefully co-exist. Living side by side on that very same Gaza Strip simply because there is enough space for everybody - instead we see daily how the Palestinians are horrifically oppressed, stripped of all human rights, shoved together in the smallest rural space existing in darkness and deprivation because of the unjustified Border restrictions denying any services and suppliers access, whether its essentials like medicine or food it makes no difference. When a father cannot cross the border to go to work or is unable to feed his family. When he is forced to watch his loved ones die because there is no hospital or medicine available to treat the ill or injured in most cases by bombs and bullets - its a cruel joke when the only functioning hospital is situated across the border in israel. When the permits for a day pass is almost impossible to obtain because the paperwork is ridiculous, having to wait several days for permission when your loved ones condition is critical and perhaps only have a few hours to survive. I will not ask; where is the humanity in all this, I will however ask; where is the logic in this system? . Then again it is unrealistic to expect a person who lacks humanity to be anything but unreasonable and cruelly uncompromising. An insert from my favourite most inspiring book 'I Shall not hate' by Dr Izzeldin Abuelaish explains the atrocious violations best 'Absurdity of a system that does not allow humans to be humans. Palestinians lucky enough can go shopping while working in Israel to return to Gaza the land that's closed where everything is shutdown, shut off or shut out.'
