Independence

What does independent mean? The word independent is a very outrageous word that is being the point of matter from the day first human was sent to earth. Independence, freedom, living freely, these are some things that a human want, it is in the nature of human to live free, to walk free, to run free, to breathe free under the open sky, to travel where ever he want, to speak what he wanted to say.  It’s Human  nature as is as I they resist when they are deprived for this freedom and history is full of such movement that were started for what yes, one and only word independence.

Virginia Woolf (an English writer and one of the foremost modernist of the twentieth century) views independence as “the man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent: and he is never bored and life is only too short and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness”

The word I used for freedom above is outrageous, I guess it a just for it. History never lie, from Nelson Mandela freedom movements to current movement i.e. Kashmir and Palestine, all of the sacrifices they have made, Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years, Pakistan sacrificed a lot of blood to get freedom, Kashmir’s and Palestine’s are still struggling, every day hundred of children, women, and men are killed, bombed by Indian and Zionists, for what because they want independence, they wanted to live freely, they wanted to educate their children with their own customs and rituals, they wanted to sleep a night in peace, they wanted to be seen as humans but the so called civilized world is deaf and blind.

Denis Waitley (an American motivational speaker writer and consultant) says that “the greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence”

That is what independence mean that, mothers are sacrificing they little kids, fathers their young sons, and families their loved one for what for freedom, for independence this is the cost of such an outrageous word independence. This is not only a word, it’s an emotion, a history, defining it need a lot of courage, finger trembles while writing this word, one need to go through a lot of history, the writer needs to watch a lot of bloodshed, cruelty, suffocation, brutalities, beheaded humans, slaughtered children, a lot of tears, a lot of screaming, a lot of heartbreaks and indeed he also need independence from his tears, from his heart just write a simple meaning of independence, as the former President of Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh) said “nothing is more precious that independence and liberty”
