Idea of freedom!

By: Shams Irfan

The word freedom arouses emotions beyond an ordinary person’s comprehension. For someone who has never struggled against the shackles of slavery cannot understand what freedom means is to those who live under occupation.

For us freedom is an emotion, which we carve for all our life but get only when there is no life left in us. I had never known the real Me, as I was not free enough to look within and say, ‘I am free’.

Hope, one day we all find our lost voices.  Then only our wandering souls can be at peace with everything that is good and bad in us…

‘Speak up, as you have nothing to fear,

stand by what your think is right.

Do not let your thoughts be oppressed,

as no fetters can contain thee…
