be truly happy

Not truly happy until truly free  — 1 year ago

I wish I was happy, but I am not. I live in a country that is described by too many as a “free country”. But, I’m not free to do as I please. I mean do as I please as long as I cause no harm to any other person, thier possessions, their feeling of security, or harm any animals.

As it stands, I (as well as all other Americans who are not of the so called “elite”) am ONLY free to do what the government says I can do. If I wish to do anything that some unknown lawmaker has decided I shouldn’t do, although I never even had a chance to cast my vote as to whether I should be free to do it or not, I run the risk of losing my liberty. That is not freedom. Thzt is fucked up, wrong, heartless, and not the way I wish to live. I am a person of peace. I have no desire to tell others what non-threatening activities they should or should not engage in, and I have no desire to be told the same by anyone else.

I agree there. Wherefore should
We let our lives be ruled
By other human beings
Who are nothing but fools?

Why should lying hypocrites
Govern how we exist?
Are morals and common sense
Not good enough for this?

We know what’s right and what’s wrong;
We don’t need politics.
Hancock doesn’t sign freedom,
We already have it.

How can we be truly free
With laws of restriction?
To not have is to not be,
Let’s make the decision

to be free from needless rules
And regain what is ours
So we can live as free as
The animals and flowers.

Thank You

That was a truly beautiful thought, sinkandplughole. Thanks for sharing. Too bad that the “powers that be” can’t see concepts such as this, that are so simple. They truly can’t see the forest for the trees. (I hate cliches, but couldn’t think of better wording for this concept myself).

I must say though, that I often wonder why it is that in the process of making all those laws to restrict us, the common citizen, they often seem to be trapped into breaking those same laws themselves, and often find themselves being indited for doing the very things they wish to restrict us from doing. You are right about them being rather foolish.
Peace to you & yours.
