Freedom

What I love about being alive is the freedom to say what I want and do what I want as soon as I am old enough to do it. I have come to realise that you have to work as hard as you can, for yourself in honesty. It's not about what job you have, but your attitude towards it. How can anyone live without sticking to their morals in every domain of their lives. You can't change everyone else, but you can change yourself. You can hold on to your own virtue and your own mind and your own ability, and that's all you have to live by. One should not submit to the will of others, because if everyone was concerned with the way they operated themselves, then there wou'd be no corrupt governments, because we would all understand that the world does not operate successfully by force, but by the freedom of the mind to dream and achieve. If no one feels guilty about what they are capable of, and nobody demands that they volunteer themselves as human sacrifices to the people of corruption, then I have a feeling it would be alright.
I wish that more people had the courage, the bravery, the confidence, to be completely honest like I try to be. Lies are not painful to those they deceive, not at all. They hurt the person whose lips they escape and whose mind thought them. It makes me sad that people lie, when it is unnecessary. I mean, do not answer if you are going to lie. Say nothing so no lie should escape - your expression will betray you anyway.
