Good day to you all my tutors and learners here on Hive.
I remain this humble soul who is always ready to appreciate my existence on the surface, once we realize that staying alive is never by our power or might then we know that all we have to do in life is to thank God for his mercy and grace over us.
The world is a free place to live and we are given something called freedom. Freedom is something so natural, in the sense that even animals and insects have what we call freedom. Animals in the wild enjoy freedom and even birds in the sky enjoy it. It is free for all.
But in the same way, this freedom is free for everyone, some people get restricted their freedom even though they are free.
We all have this freedom, we are free to breathe in and out. The air we breathe is something free for us all. And even down to the animals and plants. We all breathe. So once you have the energy to breathe then you are given freedom to breathe. Breathing is not something we pay for, it's a natural thing. You can’t breathe beyond your capacity, so there is not much misuse of freedom to breathe.
Movement is something free for all though not everyone can. But they have the right and freedom to move. Walking, running, hopping, and jogging, are all freedom of movement and we are free to walk. Movement is not something we pay for. So there are always little or no restrictions to movement and no overuse of the freedom to move.
We can talk as much as we want. But there should be a limit to that. Too much freedom with talking could lead to a lot of problems for the speaker and the listener at times. You are free to use that tongue of yours but remember to be cautious as always. Remember you can talk while those animals can't, you can speak but plants can't. So there must be a reason why we are given the freedom to speak and other living things can’t.
Life is free for all. You live and leave. So there is always that freedom you can overuse. Once you are living your life you can’t use an extra life.
Although we are free to move wherever we want, that doesn’t mean that we can move anywhere. There are places we dare not extend our freedom to. If not there will be restrictions to such a privilege. Places like prisons also give life limitations to freedom. You are free in the prison, you can walk, talk, sleep, and live. But you are restricted.
Sickness is one of the major limiting factors to freedom. Once you are sick then you are not given any form of freedom. It depends on your nature of sickness. Some are sick and are restricted the freedom to breathe, some are restricted the freedom to speak, walk, or even eat. Sickness is a life restriction and one way to limit freedom.
Everything can’t be free just like the air we breathe and the words we utter. There are times when we have to pay for things we use. This gives those things some power of restriction thereby it can't be accessible to everyone.
Death is the final of it all. The limitation to all forms of freedom. Once death approaches then freedom to everything ends.
The world is a free place for us to live. Even though we are given the freedom to live freely. There is always some sort of restriction to that. So we can't just keep living a life with too much freedom. It is best to live a free lifestyle and enjoy the freedom to some certain level before freedom flees away from you.
This is my response to the prompt for week 60 edition 2 on the hive learners community and the topic to be discussed is TOO MUCH FREEDOM.
