“With freedom comes great responsibility, a responsibility that can only be met by the individual” -Ronald Reagan Life is about claiming freedom. Freedom of choosing what is right for me and what makes me happy. Upon learning the true meaning of Freedom, it does not actually mean focusing more on claiming unwanted desires. Freedom is doing an action which implies self-determination to overcome obstacles and be able to get closer to a certain goal. Love is the foundation of freedom thus; it is making oneself closer to God by doing one’s will and His teachings with love. Acts which involve people around must be good not just for oneself but for others also signifies true freedom, this will help in becoming more responsive and show to others his true self. Moreover, freedom is overcoming an obstacle or hindrance in self-actualizing and establishing self-worth. It means conquering internal conflicts about true self and characteristics of being stubborn. Making life decisions is a form of freedom, where one can decide to do things responsibly. Freedom must never be isolated from those responsibilities and become a misguided excuse for despicable behavior in speech or action. It is time to become aware of the role self-responsibility has in sustaining freedom for all of us. People should know that every action has a responsibility to take, whether that action may be good or bad. Moreover, people should not be tempted to do things recklessly just to obtain freedom, life is about considering ourselves and those who will be affected in our decisions so that no one will get hurt at the end.
