Give me liberty, or give me life?
I learned from Wikipedia that the American revolutionist Patrick Henry gave his famouse “Give me liberty or give me death” speech today, 1775.
Being an America, this speech holds a speacial place in my heart.
Give me liberty or give me death! However, to many people death is liberty--the great emancipation from the torture and agony inherent to living through a human body. God death is a release.
For others, Life is the great Liberation, by itself, as is, and if one were not manifesting that Liberty though every cell in their body, that would be death. Patrick Henry’s idea put “Liberty” or a pedistal, what is Goodness, and he saw it as a Perfection humanity deserved. It was our Right, which is something inhearent to living in a human body.
Fortunately, his speech was like Kings’s…prophetic. Unfortunatly, that human right to liberty quickly turned into the right to irresponsibility, the right to consume belligerently. Responsibility was forgotten along with the witch burning. Progression and degression, spiral all the way down.
How far would you go to protect your liberty? And isn’t it time you gave some of that liberty up?
