Liberation

      What is Liberation? It is at its simplest for freedom. Emancipation of expression. We all like to say we are liberated people, we are forward thinking, open minded people. Is that really true? Are we ever really liberated from society. Society has set a standard they have inadvertently taken away our freedoms to openly talk, and discuss the hard stuff out of fear of not being politically correct.

      The beauty of being people isn't that we should be stifled, but that we should be rejoiced as individuals. We don't all have to believe in gay marriage (but we should all be tolerable) We don't all have to like the president, there should an allowance for a difference of opinion, and way of thinking. We still cannot openly discuss things like race because it fuels turmoil, why can't we have a candid conversation about race on any cultural background. We cannot let words tear down nations, tear down people, being descriptive and different sometimes can yield new resolve. f we keep having the same old conversations, the same oppressed conversation there will never be a change. We should not tiptoe around words in fear of our liberation being taken away or being martyred as a fool. In 2011 we should all try to liberate ourselves from being oppressed of saying the things that are on our minds. Set your words free, make new ideas, stir up change in an otherwise stagnate pond.

      Albert Einstein said, “The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.” Who cares if people don't agree they don't have to that's their freedom and right, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't have the conversations that matter.
