Freedom - Personal definition, March 6, 2010


Freedom is neither
rebellion or compliance.
Freedom rests on
foundation of mindfuless.
Freedom is bounded
by ethics, values, empathy.
Freedom is enacted
through choice, determines
what I do, think, say,
not how others respond.
Freedom requires that
I hold my own mirror
Freedom accepts paradox,
individuality and interdependence.
Freedom take for granted
is dangerous, world wrecking.
Freedom wasted, unemployed,
is dangerous, world rotting.
Freedom, employed in conscience
can save us all.
