Freedom

To be free is something everyone wants in life. Many people today are caged and restricted from doing something they feel like doing. The truth is that when you are caged without freedom, you may not be able to do things that can make you Excel in life. Human beings need to be free instead of being caged so that they can have countless reasons to break out of their shells for them to have total freedom. Let's take, for instance, students who are supposed to choose the course of their choice will be deprived of choosing what they want to study, but rather their parents will choose a course for them. This means the students are not free to express themselves but are being deprived by their parents. Parents should always know that their children have choices to select whatever course they are good at. Subjecting them to the course of your choice can make them disorganized. A man forced the child to read medicine which he did instead of going for his choice, law. He truly went for medicine and surgery and was successful. This young man still needs to pass through school to go for law. He did so well in his field and indeed dropped the medical certificate to the parents.

Freedom is very much essential to all human beings and in all facets of life. I can still remember back then when I was still a boy, my dad would always try to stop me from seeing my schoolmates. He caged me and never allowed me to have a friend. I only managed to have one out of frustration and indeed he has no choice other than to accept him as my friend. I was not free to do certain things and so, when I'm doing things that can make me excel, I always do it with fear of my dad, not until I was admitted into the higher institution where I had to be freed out of the cage.

So, to me, freedom is the act of doing what you love doing at your own convenience time without someone or some people disturbing or interrupting you. We have freedom of speech, which is the right to speak our minds Nigeria today is experiencing democracy which gives us the freedom to speak freely and indeed, there are still limitations to the way we speak, unlike some other countries where people have the right to speak freely.

We also have the freedom to move freely which is indeed happening in a democratic system of government. The only period we were not allowed to move about was the period of covid-19 where the whole world was held, hostage. Everyone was made to remain indoors. So, to me right here and right now, I can move freely at any time any day without someone questioning me of where I'm going.

Freedom mean a lot to me as I will be able to free myself to do certain things instead of being instructed. There is something I do have in me which can never change. When I'm told to give a speech or to talk to someone, I do not need anyone's advice but will do it in my way. This is the only way I can be at my best, but when I'm told what to do, one may not be able to appreciate me for what I have done. This means, I'm not free and so will not get results. Freedom means a lot to me.

My wife who is pregnant always complains about the time she will be free because she does not seem free. So, to pregnant women, it always looks great whenever they are free which means when they have delivered. I told my wife that one day I will also be free because I'm one way or the other affected and will be affected when she gives birth. This will be the period where I have to remain sleepless throughout the night. So, until the baby is at least six months, then I will be able to rest to my satisfaction.

Freedom can be coined in different ways and we have different ways of viewing freedom.
