"Liberty is our most precious virtue.
When liberty confronts discipline, if the latter violates the former, choose liberty"
Prof DeRose
Today, 25th April, Portugal celebrates "The Liberty day". And today, as all the others, it 's a good day to question: 'Where have you been you?'
Where is our Liberty, if our life in which we live in its foremost aspects is discipline.
Liberty is at itself a discipline. It is not something that others give us or not, or allow us to have or not; less than that is too far from depending of external conditions. Liberty is always related to self discipline. Liberty that everybody seems to own it’s not more than an illusion, conducted by costumes and society.
Our options can be much more extended and bigger than the ones we’ve had some decades ago, but even than they are still limited if we consider the infinite limit of possibilities (if you allow yourself to that).
To have consciousness about real Liberty, let us become “the lords” of our destiny. A colossal power to change our life according to our wills. To be what we want to be and change what we want to change. Liberty to do or not to do, to be or not to be.
Our Liberty is our biggest power. (we have the power but we are not the all-powerful)
Let's keep her closer, not because today it's "the day" but today is like tomorrow, like after tomorrow, our day.
And all days are ours.
