When we have the confidence to speak up about what we know to be true, do what we believe to be right, and fight for what we believe to be unfair, we have achieved freedom. One should not fight for freedom; rather, one should strive for it. In its purest form, freedom cannot be granted; it must be earned. The great leaders of history have always known this, which is why they never fought for their rights, but instead fought for their countries. In other words, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved through struggle and courage. It is not enough to want freedom or even to seek it, one must also know how to get it. In order to be free we need information freedom and independence from slavery to money slavery. Information controls power and power corrupts, therefore if we do not have freedom of information, we are not fully free people. We need freedom of expression so that we can say what we want and not be punished for it. Without this freedom, we are not able to know what is true and what is false, and thus cannot make good decisions as a society. Freedom of religion is important because without it there would be no hope for humanity, as we would be finished off by our own creations. Freedom cannot be given, it must be won by fighting for it. One must always be on the alert for opportunities to fight for one's rights, whether it is at work, in public affairs, or anywhere else.
