Freedom: Is not all about chains...

In chapter three and four of Gulliver's Travels I found it very interesting how he describes the Yahoos better along with their various rituals. We can now tell that there exists more confidence between Gulliver and the kingdom since there is more interaction between the two. 

But even though Gulliver is given everything he needs, he is not given the one thing that he really wants. That is, his liberty. Everyone searches liberty one way or another. Liberty includes everything from expressing your ideas freely without any consequences or having the liberty to decide what to do in the day. But even though we have the privilege to experience freedom, some of us are not aware that there are a lot of people that are denied their freedom. How can a person live a happy and long life when they are denied their freedom?

The answer to this question does not exist. There is no way that a person can live a happy life when their freedom is denied. At freedom does not necessarily have to mean that their chains are taken off nor that they are let of of jail, but freedom is about accepting people they way they are. Without judging. And most of all, tolerance must be shown. In fact one of my favorite quotes explain freedom the best way possible:

"To be free is not merely to cast of one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others"

-Nelson Mandela
