The Hidden Cost of Freedom

The price of freedom is manifold. In order to gain freedom people must sometimes fight for it and die so that others may obtain it. Once obtained, many more will fight and die so that freedom will continue ringing its bell of liberty for everyone.

But freedom carries a hidden price tag once it is obtained. Freedom's hidden cost is one that many people fail to see but a price that must be paid nonetheless. This hidden cost must be satisfied in order to assure real freedom for everyone and not mere servitude to authority in exchange for peace and prosperity.

In order to gain real freedom you must always question authority and you must always be ready to challenge authority when you think that authority it is not in everyone's best interests. Paying freedom's hidden price is not only the duty of every citizen in a free society, it is the hidden mark of a man or a woman who values and seeks freedom for others and who cherishes his or her own.

A vote is not a solution.

While it is our right and our duty to vote, we need to remember that casting a ballot for someone who claims to have all the answers will not solve all our problems.

Only we can do that.

Rise Above

Dare to rise above the base desires of the animal world. These are natural urges and forces which are necessary for continued existence but do not misuse them by giving them more than their share of your life activity.

Refuse to participate in the degrading elements of contemporary civilization which funnel wealth into the hands of the vile and the corrupt. They will darken your soul and deepen the darkness of this world.

Your mind and your activity are the keys to your life.
