The best way to know freedom is to lose it, i dont know where i lost my freedom, maybe in 2014 when Maduro started to induce fear and violence in our lives
I think freedom is mostly related to fear, fear to speak out, fear to fight, fear of death, fear of living a normal life, when you get rid of that fear, you can die in the process as a free man, or succed and become truly free
The fight for freedom is no more than the process of leaving behind fear, even if it take our lives
I lived in Venezuela for a short while when I was 11 years old in 1986 but I couldn't even begin to say how it was politically back then... I was inocent and traveling with my parents on a sailboat. Aside from running away from a crazy man waving a shot gun and yelling at me, all I have are good memories.
I can only imagine what losing your freedom means but I can never truly know what you are going through. Sorry
Yes, losing ones freedom would be quite a revelation. I am sorry to hear about the oppression you are facing. I agree that fear can be found at the route of many problems. When I feel stuck in life I can often tie my feelings to fear. Fear of disappointment, fear of embarrassment, dear of judgement, dear of failure, and the list goes on. Standing up for what we believe in and facing those fears is the route to freedom and can, in some cases, can come with a heavy price.
