Sunday marks the anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law by the late Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos.
I was a toddler when that happened in 1971 so I have no first hand experience of this infamous historical event.
People went missing, especially those who blatantly exposed themselves against the abuses of the government. Abuses were done to people who rose up and let their voices heard. Everyone was vulnerable, and hurt and felt betrayed.
Today, its a different world we live in. For me I think there is too much freedom, not that it is bad. It is good, in fact I enjoy the benefits of living in a free country.
My thoughts about having too much freedom is based upon the fact that people take advantage of this freedom by abusing it. It seems to me that the youth today are not as hardworking and as concerned with their future as well as their country’s future.
For me freedom is being able to do what one enjoys most but at the same time recognizing that there are limits to some of the things that can be done, or said.
