A MAN WITHOUT LIBERTY IS A BODY WITHOUT SOUL
When liberty is gone, life grows insipid and has lost its relish. - Joseph Addison
It is a popular belief that living creatures possess souls. Soul is the source of infinite power. In India, souls are believed to be carriers of fortune from body to body. Without it, there is no meaning of life.
Liberty to gain knowledge, liberty to express thoughts and liberty to make choices give a man the power to live.
Without liberty, a man will be a slave to a master; neither he will speak nor will he express his pain.
It is quite true liberty is as essential as air we breathe. If you have liberty, you can create any anything; but if you don’t have it, life appears hard struggle. If a man has all the luxuries but no liberty, those luxuries can't make him happy. On the contrary if he has less luxuries, but complete liberty, he will be happy. Liberty is life. Without liberty life is worse than hell.
Life is all about man attaining liberty. In the past man lived in various types of slaveries. In the Stone Age he strove to achieve liberty ignorance. He learnt to make fire, shelters, clothes, etc. Then with the formation of human societies, various ills such as discrimination on the basis of caste, color, creed, and financial status arose. Then men fought for political, social, and financial liberty.
Still many challenges such as fatal diseases, pollution, advancement of science and technology stand as unconquerable mountains in front of him. Man must work harder to be free of all types of bondages. Only then he can say he is truly free. He is busy making strategies to overcome them. Liberty is essential for man’s happiness. Without it man’s life is meaningless.
