The Taste of Freedom…
Freedom is the source of life for us and once you lose your freedom you will be suffering until you lose everything good in your life. Some does not know what the taste of freedom is because they were never taught about it or lived it. Imagine this special moment that someone lives after a hard period of time that prevented him from his freedom…the air smells like something else, the sun looks like the queen of the world, and the blue skies looks really like heavens.
The worst thing that could be done to a human is to take his freedom because this right that each human has is the basic of his life, so imagine a life without its base. The wars and conflicts that the humans make with their own hands, made them lose this fantastic feeling of freedom and cooperation. They lost the most beautiful thing in their life because they wanted more than what they had.
The Freedom has more than one meaning: one is the way we live and how far we can go with our ideas and attitudes, another kind of freedom is the right to chose what we want without obligation, and other several meanings.
The worst thing that could happen is that a people that once have been forbidden his freedom, makes the same thing to another people. This means that people who were once tortured and imprisoned could do the same to another people in order to make sure that they prove their strength and that what once happened to them could never happen again.
This is a tragedy when we see it happening because it is a clear prove that not only who are occupied are the victims, but also those who occupy them because of their fears.
The history returns on itself and will always give every people their chance, so the question is whether these people who are occupied now will make the same to the people who are occupying them if the history makes them stronger in the future?
