“Freedom.” We use
that word a lot. Do we all really know what that word means? It’s used in so
many different ways. Do we understand how it is attained? Most importantly, do
we understand how it is used by some to actually take freedom away? Simply put,
freedom is the ability to act without hindrance or restraint. Freedom is owning
your life, your actions, your labour. We say we support the “principles” of
freedom. But what are those principles and where did they come from? First of
all, we must understand principles are not legislated or invented.
Principles are discovered. Someone doesn’t just come up
with an idea and start to sell it as a principle. A principle exists and you
are subject to it, whether or not you know it. For example, for centuries men
were ignorant of the laws of physics but they were subject to them nonetheless.
Man couldn’t fly or fit two objects in the same space, no matter how hard he
tried because the laws (or principles) of physics are fact, whether known or
unknown.
