Freedom Fighters fought
for freedom from British rule some years back and we celebrate these years of
freedom with a lot of enthusiasm and merriment. In all the joyfulness, we have
actually forgotten the real essence of freedom. Freedom doesn’t merely mean liberty
from the British rule; look at it from a broader sense. Are we actually free? After
attaining freedom from the British people, we have actually become slave of our
own people. These people claim to be in our favor but they actually end up serving
their own greedy means. And we are seeing everything like an unanimated being!
We are busy in the walks of our lives and it hardly matters us where our
country is going, where our values are drowning. We actually don’t celebrate
the freedom (because there is nothing left like celebrating it) we only
celebrate the holiday that we get! We are happy because we get an off otherwise
we would be burning ourselves in the work load like every day and in the struggle
to achieve target, we would have forgotten Independence Day. Sorry if I sound
harsh!
If you are really a citizen
of India and proud to be one, then take up a task. At least, one task that can
make a difference in the society. Not just be happy for your freedom, give
someone else freedom. Stand up and help the society in becoming a better place.
Definitely work to satisfy your desires and dreams but don’t forget your responsibilities
towards society. You can go to work, come back to home, take a nap and then
again go back to work. You can live emotionless life like a machine. On the other
hand, you can work, help others in making their lives a little easy, come back to
home, sleep with gratification and blessings of someone you helped and then
again get back to work. You can live life like a human being, a responsible
one! Our society needs us, our own people needs us! When all our people will be
happy, we deserve to celebrate Independence. Seems like an ideal situation,
right? Can’t we create this ideal situation? I’ve heard a phrase ‘Whatever the
mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.’ I believe in this
statement, live with it and may be, one day, I’ll die with this notion but at
least not without making any efforts.
