This is my entry to my own contest : DCC tag contest - Let's support #freedom.
It's created to support tags on hive blockchain. You're welcome to participate !
The word ''freedom'' means a lot to me. You may say that I was a hostage almost the half of my life. When my father took me to another country where I lost a lot of my freedom. You may read that story here : A part of my life. But thanks to my will to be free and thanks to sticking to the idea that I have to free myself, I did it after 12 years of dreaming. I moved to another country, and still didn't know about the real freedom, just when the pandemic started and I saw how governments are repressing citizens in the world. I started to learn about that mostly in decentralized social media, and I think now that to be completely free is almost impossible because the freedom has no limits.
I liked to watch this video recently when I was looking for the meaning of freedom :
There are so many types of freedom. Some we may even don't think about :
Personal freedom :
It's when you don't have any obligation in front of others. When you don't have a family to take care about. A boss who tell you what to do. And any other destruction that doesn't allow you to make what you want. Even though, the personal freedom can be gained if you have good deals with others who may give you that freedom to do what you want. They may help you to achieve it !
Financial freedom :
It's when you have enough money to buy and to do what you want. Plus enough saved as an investment. It's a freedom hard to achieve because we are so attached to the system we live in. It's possible only if you have an easy work that brings enough, or a business that's not destructing you. It's good if that business is mostly delegated. Even though, in this case, we have obligations in front of the government. But the financial freedom may help the personal freedom because you may have enough funds to hire people to care about those who need to care from you, like kids or old parents.
Physical freedom :
It's when you have a good health and when you don't have any sickness or disability. When you are not addicted to alcohol or things that make your health get worse. When you have the opportunity to take care about your heath, by eating healthy and training, for example. That's why we should be really thankful if we see, hear, talk and walk for example. We should be thankful if we have a good health, and we should take care about it.
Psychological freedom :
It's when you are free from any bad habits. When you are free of rules written by others. When you have your own way to live. Your own way to do things. When you can be you and not let anyone play with your decisions to do any action. When everything you do come from you only. When you have your own beliefs. When you can protect them. When you have enough arguments to defend your ideas. Enough information to provide to others, to prove you're right ! Psychological freedom is one of the most powerful freedoms. If you are psychologically free, you will not allow anyone to play with your mind, including any other people, your government or the mass media.
I'm sure there are so many types of freedom. So, the total freedom is the collection of all those freedoms.
And since I'm participating in the contest, I would like to mention more authors writing recently about freedom :
Check this post : For those of you who just started paying attention. I like the intro where the author wrote :
It is quite clear that a lot of people only started paying attention to the state of the world last year.
I would say I agree with @kennyskitchen and I would say that there is a benefit from all this pandemic. The most important that many people start learning about this crazy world. They understand what's going on, and they do everything to spread the truth to their relatives and friends. Many understand that the mass media are owned by those who always manipulated them. Many understand what's exactly the government and in most constitutions all the power should be in hand of people and that those who are called authorities are the one who are serving us using our taxes. And they of course understand that the medicine is in fact not only to care about our health, but it's a big business and their main goal is to see more sick people to sell them those medicaments and to use everything to profit from their fear to be sick. People start to understand that caring about our immune system is the most important, but not creating an artificial immune system that always need boosts.
Check as well the post of @inthenow with the great title : ''It's Not About Freedom Or Personal Choice''.
I liked this part :
You do nothing but divide the people, instead of unite them.
It's the way they always do, to take the freedom from us. Simple citizens who should be the power by the constitution. Because they usually choose those rulers. And they serve them, but not tell them what to do. Not divide them among vaccinated or not. Black and white. Democrats and republicans. Immigrants and citizens. Religious and non-religious. And many other differences most of the politicians use, to keep dividing the society. Because the weaker the society is, the most powerful authorities are. And even if the story of the virus will end, they will always create something to keep dividing people. That's what was happening during the history. I hope more people understand this and stop falling in such trap. We need all to be united !
And just like @drutter wrote in this post : NOW is the time to resist tyranny!
They're caught in lie after lie, breaking every promise they've made, destroying every corner of the Constitution and Charter.
Now it's indeed to resist the tyranny. To fight for our freedom. The freedom of choosing the medicine. The freedom to take care of our natural immune system or to take an unknown shot. The thing that not just not effective, but the thing that may hurt us. When asking about the ingredients, about the papers, they never give them. They say that authorities want us to make that, but are there already secure researches proving that's all will not bring any harm ? Usually, vaccines are tested many years to understand if they are effective or not. And if they are that good, why those vaccinated needs boosters ? Some are telling people to vaccinate the fourth time. Some even told that will be forever. For life. In Israel, even those who are vaccinated twice, their covid passport is canceled, unless they take the third. Why people should take that forever ?
They will always come with a new strain, and we have always to put experiments on our healthy bodies ? That's unacceptable ! If nothing left for us, at least let us do with our bodies the thing we want. And if you are already vaccinated and wearing masks, why you want to force others to do the same. You are already protect if that's really protecting. I don't think that someone really care about the unvaccinated. Usually, people don't help others when they are in need. Sick people usually do everything to find money for treatments by their own. And if they don't have enough, they just use alternative methods to heal. Otherwise, I don't see people caring about each other that much.
A good video I watched recently in TikTok. The guy said, ''If they are saying that they will not treat sick in hospitals who are not vaccinated, why they don't treat those who didn't wear bulletproof vest if they have injuries ? Why to treat those who broke their legs or hands because of not using protection ? Why to heal people with heart attacks if they didn't care about their health before ? ..etc.''
Anyway, if we learn about the situation, we see a lot of nonsense. And the more we accept that, the more will be normal.
The freedom is a hard topic to talk about and maybe only the most powerful people may achieve that.
I hope this all will push people to be really free. And the decentralization may help in this. That's why we should promote all decentralized social media and keep sharing the truth no matter what !
