The price for freedom
ثمن الحرية/The price for freedom

:: ثمن الحرية/ The Price for freedom

Dear Bloggers,
 
This blog is an ultimate response to the following email:
 
"ثمن الحرية لا يعدله إلا العمر فما بالك لا تكتبين عنه"meaning:"The price of freedom is equivalent to life, so why don't you write about it?' and I really thank this person for such suggestion.
 
After receiving this email,I immediately asked myself the question: "It's true! what is the price for freedom?"
I went out for a walk and the words such as:
"MAN","FREEDOM",  "DEGREES OF FREEDOM AND IMPRISONMENT","PRICE","BLOOD","SLAVERY","INDEPENDENCE","COLOUR", "RACE", "TERRITORY","WEALTH", "POVERTY","SCREAM", "TEARS", "ASYLUM", ETC.
Were suddenly dropping like a rain, and I started to workout an algorithm between them in order to find an answer to :"The Price of Freedom"
 
So I went back home and googled the word Freedom and the following definition came up:"The absence of interference with the sovereignty of an individual by the use of coercion or aggression"
Then I googled the word aggression:"
aggression refers to behavior between members of the same species that is intended to cause pain or harm.
Predatoryor defensive behaviour between members of different species is not normally considered "aggression." Aggression takes a variety of forms among humans and can be physical, mental, or verbal. Aggression should not be confused with assertiveness, although the terms are often used interchangeably among laypeople, e.g. an aggressive salesperson.

There are two broad categories of aggression. These include hostile, affective, or retaliatory aggression and instrumental, predatory, or goal-oriented aggression.[1][2][3][4] Empirical research indicates that there is a critical difference between the two, both psychologically and physiologically. Some research indicates that people with tendencies toward affective aggression have lower IQs than those with tendencies toward predatory aggression.[1] If only considering physical aggression, males tend to be more aggressive than females. One explanation for this difference is that females are physically weaker than men, and so need to resort to other means.[5] Females of different cultures have a variety of non physical means to cause harm to their husbands. On Bellona Island, a culture based on male dominance and physical violence, women tend to get into conflicts with other women more frequently than with men. When in conflict with males, they rarely use physical means. They instead make up songs mocking the man, which spread across the island and humiliate him. If a woman wanted to kill a man, she would either convince her relatives to kill him or hire an assassin. These are both forms of indirect aggression since the aggressor (female) is trying to hurt someone without putting herself in direct danger [5].

Then I went out again, this time to a shop and looked carefully, how each item on the shelves was displayed and how each shelve was priced and how each item had it's own code bar that allowed the cashier to automatically have access to the item description and even locate it among the shop units.
 
So on my way back home, I was trying to make the analogy between pricing for a supermarket and pricing for human freedom.
 
The answer was quite shocking! we are the product of this community, we are identified by IDs in analogy to code bars and our Data was stored somewhere which made us easy to track according to this system.
 
Then I asked myself, why are people engaging in all this wars, if it was only to become a code bar for a community group, then to a society, then to a country, may be to a continent?
 
What is the definition of a Price:" A price is a value given to an item/ object in the market to be sell- able"
"So if the human being did not set-up the price, they will be no value? "; Yes this is the answer!
 
So I understood that the human-being is the origin of his own misery, hence happiness!
 
Human being has been engaged for too long in wars for freedom, a freedom from occupying enemies, to fall after that in another type of occupancy; His own occupancy!
 
"What is a man, what has he got? if not himself then he has not!" Les miserables, by Victor Hugo;This phrase was said by the character named Jean Val Jean who was a prisoner in this story!
 
Yes, unfortunately, the problem is not with the price people pay for their freedom, it is the Price for Post-Freedom; 
We need to change the mind set!
