How wonderful it would have been if Liberty was more of a universal phenomenon. Liberty to all celestial bodies to orbit, accelerate, and if wishes may command, to resign and join any other galaxy. How much magnificent could have been such varying sights of stars and sky. Unfortunately, such beauty has not been blessed to the heavenly beings. It is pity to find them busy orbiting and following the same old path since billion light years. I wonder why they don't exhaust crawling the most predictable path subjected to equations and phenomenon.
On the other side, however, I see a rare beauty in mankind, of being progressive, varying and evolving codes and patterns of lifestyle, values and laws. Its noteworthy that humans have evolved from apes, as many say. However, I wonder why the rest of the apes that still survive failed to evolve and why humans have stopped evolving any further in shape and structure. Its pity that humans in 21st century even has miserably failed to continue this legendary evolution.
Its 2 AM and its dark here. Sun rises at 5 21 AM today and I am sure there is no doubt in it. Its irony that such prediction and punctuality have never been wronged. On accounts of pretext, I see humans engulfed in dichotomy. At one point, mankind has made rules of all sorts and for every possible array of probabilities and on the other hand, they talk of freedom and liberty.
Oxford dictionary defines Liberty as the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's behaviour or political views. Whereas, the word 'oppressive' is consciously ignored by the zealous youth that bear the torch of our future. Mankind teach their children to obey and yet pass on the coin of free-will. Free-will subjected to time tested values, principles and established moralities? I wonder what use it would make to give choices to a child to chose between flavors of pizza, where he was insisting to have a Burger.
Liberty however, defined in dictionary, its boundaries clearly demarcated in literature and in the words of elderly wise people, is sure to spread the evil manifested propaganda. Liberty is the act of liberation and when our youth thinks of it, they imagine liberation from everything. Literally no rules, no boundaries and no stoppage from believing and doing what one considers fit or appealing.
It is very important to highlight and understand that the social bindings and religious restrictions are not a product of 'wish list'. It is more of a set of guidelines and instructions which if not followed and adhered shall result in an individual or massive disorder & illness. The rules and laws whether religious or worldly are not just rules which would result in reward or punishment. There is a whole lot of wisdom and understanding of thousand years that made them to survive.
Unfortunately, it is a general tendency of people that they tend to extract what favors them from a vaguely defined information and if the information is not vague, it is manipulated to look like one. Liberty, thus is not a slogan that liberates us from everything. It does have jurisdiction over few practices though, but it is not a godly freedom. Furthermore, argument of liberty is sometimes conceived as the free will of an individual that does not affect other individuals. Such argument is still misleading. It is very important that the literature which is a pr-requisite to understanding what liberty means, must be institutionalized in the public, especially youth. This phenomenon and desire of claiming liberty can not survive alone, otherwise, it will only result in chaos.
