Freedom means a lot of different things to different people. To me, freedom was earned from the sacrifices of society. While we may have forgotten, we lost a lot for that freedom (I have met so many vets and regular people who have given up much for that freedom.).
Many people have come before who stood for freedom, got knocked down, got up, got knocked down again, got up each time to smile defiantly at those who mock that freedom. They may even have done that many times throughout their life (Maybe missing a tooth or two but they were still there.👆).
As you move through your life and navigate changes in the weather, remember we all part of the crew that keeps this vessel seaworthy from generation to generation. Back to our beginning as a nation, and before, each generation had its own challenges, we had ours and you have and will have your own.
We are free because we still believe in that freedom and the obligations we have to each other. Be kind, considerate, and care about each other. In other words, be the best person you can and bear the fruit of the best that freedom can offer.
Your job is to be the best crewman/woman you can and max out your skills and life ability for a more noble purpose beyond oneself (You have to write your life blueprint. How can you contribute to your community and our society? Volunteering, getting involved, learning a new skill, going to school, hitting to the gym, be the best you can be, investing in our nation, starting a business, starting a charity, self improvement, being inclusive, whatever that blueprint is, you have to go find it. Each of us have a role and purpose in this life. The first stage of your life is to go find it and learn the skills that help you succeed once you do find it. The second stage is to maximize its utility and the third stage is to give it back for the next generation. When you get to the third stage, give back to ensure the compass always points north. Teach the young the wisdom you have learned. Intelligent Adaptivity of Wisdom)
The video gives you somewhat of a philosophical perspective on liberty which takes into account collective obligation driven freedom.
