 Kat I never considered that which you have, when I saw this video and shared it.
I see your point. But to me, I shared it here to just speak of the right of every individual to be and do according to their own culture, religion, way of life, and traditions.
I saw in it, peoples of many different races and backgrounds. And thought how wonderful a planet this is, chockfull of variety.
I recently have been reading on the Nuba People in The Sudan. And even after a peace agreement has been signed, there is a vulnerability to the people as they wait. Wait for restoration to the essentials of life: food, clothing, water, salt, medicines. Wait for elections, and all this as they see what war has done to their way of life, their traditions and culture. It is valuable to all of us, if each people group can keep to their ways and freely express their identities and leave their mark on this planet.
I thought how precious that freedom is. The freedom inside us.
And freedom is jeapordized by unrest, by impatience, by the other emotions and details that vie for attention inside any of us, when we are faced with burying our many dead, and faced with shortages of sustainence.
I thought, yes! Let Freedom ring from the hearts of all. I viewed the video much more as a philosophical thought than a political persuasion. And though I am American, I would have, left the last scene out of the video myself.
Because I was more engaged with freedom as cultural and as a heritage to be given to generations yet to come, and that apart from the political ideas about it. |
