Freedom!, the last words uttered by William Wallace before he was hanged. The word has so much symnbolism all over the world and means different things to different nations. But, history was made because of something the world craved for - freedom. Recently I was watching The Patriot on DVD, I am not a fan of Mel G, but the essence of the movie captured my imagination and I kept pondering over it. The American Revolution, which was the base of the movie and how USA gained its freedom, all in all, history was made.
From the Indian revolution, to the French, to the American, and to Israel's struggle for their God given inheritance, everything is for freedom. What is in that word that makes people give their lives for? Is it that important? Are we really free? Can we ever be free?
We might be free in terms of getting to vote the next person to rip us off, or we can be free to go where we want in the country, we might have freedom to say what we want, but is man really free?
Our forefathers fought and gave us a land, a country, a bright future, and abolished slavery. But we ourselves have become slaves. Yes, slaves in a free land. We are slaves to money, slaves to greed, slaves to gossip, and slaves to everything that can and will come up. Are we really free, then?
Now then, as I think about this, I feel man can never be free. Man is not free from the love of money, from the love of acquiring more assets, from greed, from jealousy, from covetousness, from gluttony, name anything, we are not free from it. And we think we are free men! All we have done is,we built up this notion that we are free, while we are still under bondage! Reminds me of the Matrix, really.
I pity the world I live in, and I pity the generations to come! I have come to realise and embrace that man can ever understand the true meaning of Freedom. I hope we realise our folly before its too late. I hope for the day we can look into ourselves and find ourselves truely free. And then, on that day, I will proudly shout "Viva la Liberte"!!
New theory on obesity
Scientists claim to have recently found that if you have a obese friend of a fat friend or a "big boned" friend, then chances are that you will become one, your self!
So, I said to my room mate, dude we gotta change rooms! I dont know who's having an affect on whom, but we both sure are, well how can I say, without sounding racist..."big boned"!
whom do we blame?? I think we ought to blame the scientists for coming up with ridiclous theories on why people are fat! I mean, cmon!! fat friends make you fat?? wat sort of a silly notion is that, something like a black cat crossing your way gives u bad luck! we dont need a scientist to tell us that a black cat can give us bad luck, our great grandmas can say that.
we need scientists to find a solution for some of the evils plagueing our world and all they can come up with is a silly looking notion saying, fat friends make you fat!
No wonder, the worlds going to the dogs!!!
