FREEDOM - My version

FREEDOM. This 7 letter word has a lot of importance and meaning in itself. Meaning of freedom is different for everyone. After becoming independent from British rule we Indians were gifted with freedom of speech and expression, freedom of religion,  rights against exploitation, cultural and education rights, right to privacy, etc, etc. As an Indian citizen we all are aware of all these rights and we all exercise them. We are fortunate enough that we have a government that has been providing all this fundamental rights.

What does freedom mean to me would be different from anyone else. For me freedom is a state of mind. I as an individual still do not feel free. I am fortunate enough to be born in a free society. I have not struggled a lot like others. For me freedom is being my own self. I still feel I am living in a shell. I am not able to be me. The only thing that is pulling me back from being myself is the society in which I live. I am still worried and bothered about what others think of me. What will others say? I have a fear. Fear of being JUDGED. 

“The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear.” —Aung San Suu Kyi.  It’s me who has to fight and win against my fear. And the day I will win over my fears I will be free in true sense.

 “The best freedom is being yourself.” Jim Morrison
