There were two men sitting next to each other on a settee in a garden, one of them yawned opening his arms on both sides. In doing this he hit the other man's nose arousing his anger. Then the other man said "please watch out, you have hit my nose with your hand."
The man answered arrogantly: what is wrong with that, I am free. So the hit man said back in a fury: yes you are free, but "your hands' freedom ends where my nose's freedom starts". Freedom is a legal right for every human being, but at the same time it is a kind of respect for one's own self and others' as well. Freedom is not chaos, but it is fighting it. Freedom turns to chaos when we do not respect the other. Freedom is defending principles and values. Freedom is not violating rules and legitimacy. Freedom is not rebellion against reality, as this will cause the reality to lose its achievements. To be free is to have the ability of choosing, creating and discovering. To be free is to have rights and be committed to duties. Hence, we must understand and be aware of the Meaning of Freedom. Freedom is stimulating people to take an attitude aiming at building the society, and not at destroying it. Freedom is the ability of sharing for a better life for all humanity. We have to pay attention and never to let anyone to make any disorders within the society. The chaotic character returns back to its primitiveness and passionate soul, as it centers around itself regardless the others. Freedom is a reality moving people and pushing them to tear fear and enjoy an enlightening soul. The only chains that should be put in front of our freedom are the conscience and the inner feeling of justice. Without these things we become prisoners of our selfishness that pushes us towards trespassing others' freedoms. Freedom is a right for all people and not a privilege granted by a certain party; it is God's gift to all His creatures. Freedom is to forget the biological being lying deep inside of us, who tends to conflicts and struggles and obligatory expansion. Freedom is a mental being with the ability of thinking, realizing and illuminating people towards civility, tolerance and respecting the other; it is the power pushing forward. We should not forget, in this regard, what Al Shafeiy said "your opinion is correct but may turn to be wrong, and mine is wrong but may turn to be right". Freedom can not be imposed by trespassing; but with granting space for the other opinion. This is because trespassing leads to chaos which, in turn, destroys the ability of using the mind and distinguishing things; hence the whole picture would be unclear. Accordingly, the individual and the group will lose control over the correct behavior. Freedom is communication with people for courage, power and building what is better. It aims at a new different style flourishes the spirit of cooperation and creative imagination. We should not misunderstand freedom in order not to disperse powers and dreams. In this moment, we have to unite powers and dreams to achieve a bright future vision for our dear homeland.
