Freedom,a word that we often never think of but a way of life we have always cherished as a nation.
It is fast becoming less and less as younger generations have either forgotten or not realized the cost of it.Many have become very excepting of "national authority" and do not question what they do or say,especially if they dont think it applies to them.A scary way of thinking.
Many may have heard or seen the follwing before,its origin is from a speech given by Martin Niemöller.
This is something to think about.
"When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out."
