Our Perception of Freedom

God's gift to us all was the Divine right to free will, our will being the most versatile and expansive of all creatures, in the sense that we can over come all adversity. In this gift, there in also lies our greatest curse; our perceptions of the experiences exposed to through life gives us all a vision of what is and what can be. Though in most cases our view of what could be the difference is so immeasurably expansive that we generally hold that what we could be, has a fantasy and take the current system of life has an unchangeable reality with out the help of an out side force or presence other than our own. So, we adapt to the world around us as opposed to using our own will and creativity to change it. Must of us give so little credit to our selves and prefer to assist those who are willing to act and not acting has an individual. Every one of us have a distinctive voice and perception of the world around us and this fact alone makes our collective unity in any action more effective yet not at full potential unless each individual voice is heard and the overall result molded to all as opposed to the loudest voice or most popular opinion. The essence of a true democracy is a state where all have to give way on some points yet the over all result is admired and honored by all who are affected by it. We all find ourselves in a point in history where we regurgitate information fed to us and merely reflect, and not shine our own light on our world. No matter what country we are from we allow the government and the media to narrow our view of who we may appoint or elect, this flawed structure pushes those who have the largest pockets to the forefront and not those who posses the virtues of integrity, respect, humility, honor, and the understanding that, an elected official merely relays the will of the people and not personal aspirations. In the constitution of the United States the only qualifications for one to become president are to be at least 35 years of age and to have born in the US, so why is that all of our presidents have come from Yale, Harvard or Princeton when a college degree is not even a requirement, further more we are conditioned to believe that only these highly respected, international bank owned universities are sufficient to educate a future president. The sad fact is simply that the people who allow these false truths to continue is us the general population. Our failure to question and expand our understanding
