Freedom or Love of Life

If freedom is to be free, then what are we to be free of?
Are we to be free of the world, other people or ourselves?
There is no such thing as freedom.
Freedom is nothing but a myth.
A man’s opinion against another man’s. Who is to say he’s wrong and who is to say he’s right?
Freedom is a word used by all, yet all have a different opinion of freedom.
Freedom might mean to have no cares, yet show me a man alive with not a care in the world.
Is freedom working 8 hours a day and paying bills? To some men it is.
Living on the open plains “where the deer and the buffalo roam.” Being free from all people is freedom to another man.
Yet has he no cares of getting food and shelter and of other people who knew him back in civilization.
Freedom is dying for your country or is that just another opinion of how a whole country can differ from another?
Freedom to me is enjoying what I do and how I go about it and just being happy.
Is that really freedom or is it just Love of Life?

As long as his words have meaning to us, he will not have died in vain.

James E. McDonough has been entered into MY book as one who paid the price to have his words and thoughts remembered.

And his words are worth remembering and living up to.
