Freedom Requires Sacrifice
Moshe Dayan once said, freedom is the oxygen of the soul. In order for FREEDOM to be established, SACRIFICE is needed to be made. We cannot deny the fact that the freedom from racial injustice, the tough battle for individual rights was all achieved through sacrifice. Ill begin with the core. What is Freedom? Define FREEDOM. Freedom is the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint and, freedom requires sacrifice.
What is the ANTONYM of freedom? OPPRESSION. Tell me, if human beings are each born with an independent brain to think, do you think people will stand still whilst being oppressed? NO. Do you think countries can continue being ruled when citizens feel oppressed? No. But for freedom to be granted, it is not going to be easy, sacrifice will be needed to be made. Clear solid examples are recorded and STAMPED into COUNTLESS History textbooks. Let’s put in light the French revolution. The very root of the problem was that they felt oppressed by the country and society, that they wanted CHANGE. In other words they wanted FREEDOM. They demanded a meeting with the King- which the king agreed upon. They proposed and produced an endless list of complaints together with desperate solutions before the meeting on the 5th of May 1789 , in hopes that the King would compromise; In HOPES that the king might reduce the heavy burden of taxes DAUNTING their minds on a daily basis; IN HOPES that their king might change how society is so unfairly divided. But let me tell you what happened. The king did not do so. By whatever excuse he gave to not attend the meeting on the 5th of may 1789 he PROVED by his actions that freedom would not be so easily DONATED. Like how the saying goes “money doesn’t fall easily down from the sky,” freedom does NOT either. On THAT particular day, they carried on their meeting without their king. That day REMEMBERED till this day because it was a turning point. The point where they realize SACRIFICE
