作文：Freedom
主题：If I can not have freedom, I’d rather not be alive.
Last century has seen a number of nations gaining independence from powers who have enjoyed years of rule over them. Some of the most striking and most cited examples include the independence of India and South Africa from British rule. Gandhi or Nelson Mandela-both have spent their precious lives just for independence. This truly suggests that freedom is something worth more than our lives. There are countless people, most of them not even recorded in the history throughout the world, who have sacrificed their lives for freedom-freedom for their people, for their children, for their nation.
Nations are characterized and identified by their unique values, faith and culture. These are the characteristics the nations are proud of. They have nurtured and preserved these values, customs, cultures through centuries. These values define the basic structure of their living pattern, their rights, responsibilities, aims etc. without which they lose a visible direction to follow. Once their freedom is taken away, all these characteristics are at stake since the aggressors implement the tactics of ripping the dependent nations of their values. Once their values are taken away the nation lose the sight and sense of direction and hence wanders in the darkness of confusion and aimlessness. This is done in order to subjugate them easily.
Subjugation follows taking away of rights. Most of the rights are denied and once an independent nation assumes a status of a third degree nation within their own land. How painful it would be to see your institutions closing their doors for you. You will see your MASTERS occupying jobs and important positions. The lands which once used to be yours will be used to reap fruits for someone else. In extreme cases, your children will be deprived of education and if allowed to go to schools they will be bombarded by the ideals and values which are alien to them. As a result they will loose their confidence. Dale Carnegie in his famous work on psychology suggests that confidence is the only quality which can lead a wretch to a success. So the implications of loosing one’s freedom can be much more severe than it would appear.
History is witness to instances where the aggressors have influenced the dependent nations so much that even the faith which is considered to be the most basic value of a human being was changed by force.
All these reasons are why I believe the heroes like Gandhi and Mandela struggled so hard. They sacrificed their lives and presented excellent examples of the phrase that if I cannot have freedom, I‘d rather not be alive.
