A Title is Optional
Dear friend,
We have always spoken very frankly about our world views. It’s a given you’re intellectual. But this time, I’d like to disagree with you. Below is my point:
As requested, I’ll share a conflicting idea. Years ago, women couldn’t choose who they wanted to marry. Women didn’t choose. Period. Years ago, they married first, loved later. I say this with the knowledge that my grandmother married when she was 18. She never got to date. She had never spoken to him, as soon as she knew she was to get married, she traveled by boat from her land to here. And that was it.
Today, we have a choice. Today, we get to choose love. Today, we get to say yes, and we get to say no. Yet today, divorce rates are higher than ever before. Our so-called advancement ends with ‘self-destruction’.
Is it a matter of bad judgement, or is it something else altogether? Freedom is too wide a subject to blame. How did we come to hate love? How can that statement even make any sense? Are we a civilized society just because we have freedom? How did moral development drown in a civilized society? If moral development can drown in a civilized society, is the society truly civilized? You say that exploitation of freedom is due to freedom. And you say that exploitation of freedom can only come with freedom.
It sounds fair, but dear friend, that’s just half the story. For if freedom acted entirely on its own, there’s no need to choose wisely.
