For the Sake Of Freedom

The logical definition in which you will find in a dictionary for the word freedom is- the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Freedom is a lot more than that though. It is the right to control your life, and yourself. Without freedom, a person would be like a puppet, hanging silent and motionless with strings attached all over them. That, obviously is not a great feeling to have. Everyone wants freedom, yet not many have the courage to admit that. Still, looking back in history, you can still see some brave, and noble acts people had endured for the sake of freedom. One of the examples would be Harriet Tubman and the bunch of African Americans who had ran off with her. For the sake of freedom, they had left their conformity behind. Going off to a place of unknown and being in danger at all times. Facing their difficulties, and fears with an intrepid heart and their hopes of a bright future with freedom. What had people endured because their freedom was taken away? WIthout freedom, people lost the right to think and act as they may. And just as I had stated in the beginning, they lost control of both their lives and themselves. Just like a puppet, without a soul or a heart. Without their right to actually live their own life, and make decisions themselves. Everyone has a right to be whoever they wanted to be, and that is what everyone deserved. And people will fight to the end for that, for the sake of freedom.
