The nature of freedom …. By Jude Itakali

Sometimes I ponder freedom as a concept. I watch both its chosen and self-proclaimed disciples. Those that want it, those that need it, and those who have been better off without it.
What does the blood of conquerors do with freedom, but to wreak havoc upon all others.

Identities set in stone

Freedom resides in the eye of the beholder. Freedom is desired by some, while it means anarchy to another. Also, there are varying degrees of freedom as we witness daily. To my Ukrainian friends, their fight to retain freedom is literal and in my opinion, just. Yet, to the average American, freedom means being able to make medical and sexual decisions on ones own terms. It’s a complicated, tumultuous and highly debated philosophical and ethical state of being. To me, it represents the epitome of good vs evil.
