ON DEFAULT SETTINGS and FREEDOM (The Unstoppable Case for Freedom)
ANYONE seeking freedom will eventually find it.
Freedom is that existential state conferred upon all things by Nature.
It is that natural condition which enables any entity to retain its integrity, express itself, and serve its purpose as intended by design.
It is a birthright.
Freedom is the existential default setting of all things.
The way things ought to be for Universal inter-connectedness to be harmonious.
It is when things are free that they fully express the intention behind their design.
They then exist in the way they ought to exist.
Occupation, poverty, oppression might last a year.
Occupation, poverty, oppression might even last a decade.
Occupation, poverty, oppression might last a generation.
Occupation, poverty, oppression might even last a century.
But in the end, with time dictating natural decay and restoration, they all crumble.
In due season, they all go away.
Force always begets resistance.
Oppression sustainable.
Aggressors only succeed at enslaving themselves by their aggression.
And those that fight for freedom may fail today but their children, or the children of their children, will eventually succeed. is NOT As history illustrates, it is inevitable.
There is just no force in the world that can keep a people oppressed, that can keep a people without freedom, forever. Freedom is intrinsic to being. Victory is reserved for freedom fighters.
Victory is within the cause. Victory is intrinsic to their battle.
Those that fight for freedom always win.
He who oppresses another only oppresses himself. It is folly.
An investment in oppression yields only unrelenting resistance.
It yields nagging and grossly discomforting insecurity for its perpetrator.
Freedom is indestructible. It is an inescapable requirement for the full expression of the integrity of all things in the Universe.
And sometimes, to restore lost freedom, as the mighty Goliath learnt, that unconquerable giant, all it takes is a sling and a stone.
And so that is how the tribe was liberated.
So then does history repeat itself?
Yes. There is nothing new under the sun.
Aluta continua!
Vitoria è certa!
