The Sixth Freedom

Religion, Speech, Press, assembling Peacefully, and criticizing the government. We are not limited; these freedoms allow us to become the best version of ourselves.

We have values and rights even though our frail human bodies shiver at the thought of death.

We are human. We get scared at the thought of danger. The smell of acrid fire pervading and the smell of death along with it.

We are smart. Casual inventions come as we prepare for the winter, a cold storm, or drought. It’s effortless.

We innovate. Ideas get tossed around, changing how we live forever. The wheel helping us and stopping us from using our weak legs.

Sometimes we’re held back by our own creations. Religion makes kids into bloody cynics, you can see the red in their eyes. Religion holds back society, creating false hope and sadness. Comets, represented this, and people thought that God was angry; it was just some rocks for God’s sake. When I say religion should not be taught to kids, I’m not fucking exaggerating.

Humanity is held back various ways, other than religion as well.

We are held back by our preconceived notions. That we can’t achieve this or do this yet. That we’ll never touch Mars. Just some centuries ago, it was the moon. Now, get out of my way and don’t hit me were like our sayings. We were fueled by a lousy political fire. Space Race sounds like a corny TV show and that is what got us off of Earth, into a endless arid abyss, known as space.

We are what we think of ourselves. Our ambition and goals define us. We are not a species that is defined by mathematics and rules. We are defined by our goals, our philosophy, our mediocre literature. Nothing could hold us back except if we think that. We are all characters apart of a story that was never set to ink.

We have six freedoms

  • The Freedom of Religion.
  • The Freedom of Speech.
  • The Freedom of the Press.
  • The Freedom to Assemble Peaceably.
  • The Freedom to Petition the Government for a Redress of Grievances.
  • The Freedom to your will

The sixth, barely mentioned, freedom, holds the highest truth, we as humanity could become Gods. We are Gods.
