The Price of Freedom

Many heroes fought for it. They shed blood to protect it. They sacrificed their own lives to attain it. In exchange for independence and freedom, these brave men and women gave their last breath so all of us who are living now can enjoy it.

Freedom from Social Norms

For most of us, we can already say that we live in an independent and freedom loving country. However, some aspects of our culture still restrict us to be different – to be free. For most of us, we choose to chain ourselves from the norms of society. If we go against it, we will risk ourselves from being tagged as either rebellious or outcast. But to those who survived, probably bruised from the experience, have taught them how to be brave like our national heroes.

If you are willing to take the risk of breaking the norms of society, one must be willing to go blind so that you will not see the harshness of the punishments for your deviancy. Also, one must be willing to go deaf so one will not hear the pain of their personal attacks against your philosophy and advocacy. They will not only invade you, but they will also torture those who are associated with you and those who support you. That’s the price of freedom, but the rewards of it are endless.

Sometimes, dictates of society restrict us from walking the path of inner happiness. But freedom is your choice. If you want it, fight for it and be a hero to yourself.

Life is free, you are free to love your life and you are free to live your life the way you want it.

Predicting the future. Is it a gift?

How I wish I have the gift of Nostradamus so that I can predict the future. I want to know the future so that I can prepare myself and my loved ones in the uncertainties of this world, Like this Covid19 pandemic for instance, If I knew this would happen, I would have saved enough money, stocked more groceries, and bought all the medical supplies to survived me for a year. Looking back at my life, there were so many failures and pains that I've been through, I wished I would have prevented it. If I knew I will be involved in a vehicle accident when I was six, I would have never left the house. If I knew that I will be involved in a painful relationship, I would have taken a different path. And If I knew that it was the last day of my dad on this earth, I would have spent more time with him before his last breath. If I knew the future, there will be no more what ifs. However, if I knew what will happen in the future, what will be my present life wil...
