FREEING THE DEAD SOULS

When food comes for free, we should not waste our food.

Free Food; Free Housing; Free Education; Free Marriage; Free Health; Free Coaching; Free Land; Free Tickets; Free Consultation; Free Electricity; Free Water; Free Insurance; Free Pension…etc. This is the essence of the modern governments and the modern people. Welfare or ill fare? When something is free, understand that we will end up paying a big unimaginable price for it.

Nobel Prize winner Desmond Tutu once said, ‘When the missionaries came to Africa, they had the Bible, and we had the land. They said ‘We have come to pray for you. We closed our eyes, when we opened, we had Bible in our hands, and they had our land’.

Similarly, when social network sites arrived, they had Facebook and WhatsApp, and we had freedom and privacy. They said ‘it is absolutely free’. We closed our eyes, and when opened we had Facebook and WhatsApp, and they had our freedom and personal information.

Now our governments…they said ‘everything is free’. We closed our eyes and when opened we have the dreams of Free Food; Free Housing etc., and they had our souls! Dead Souls!

Whenever something is free, we have to pay for it with our freedom. Words are understood by knowledge, and their meaning by experience. Freedom is not free!!
