Freedom; Is It On the Wane?

Freedr As we live our lives, freedom is singing its sweet music in far off Iran. The younger generation there simply refuses to accept tyranny over their lives any longer. When I watch these brave souls fighting this tyranny in the streets of Tehran and elsewhere; I realize that freedom is really what I am all about. Without true freedom you would not be able to live your true natural lifestyle. You would be a prisoner of the common accepted manner of living. True freedom is the liberty to be you; without so much as a “by your leave” to anyone else. In order to be you, you must be free.r

Get to Know Yourself

Who Am I? Know Thyself. This advice was reportedly engraved on the famed Oracle at Delphi the seat of all wisdom in the ancient world. It was the guiding rule of the ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates. Even the mysterious “Oracle” in Hollywood’s Matrix movie trilogy had this phrase posted above the entrance to her kitchen. What does it mean? Before you can go anywhere with your life; before you can do anything meaningful; you must understand yourself. Who are you? What matters to you? What are your passions? Why are you on this Earth? Most people never ask these questions.r
