How strange I feel these days. That I see that wars will not end for the sake of some "goal," that the people cannot see. How the Emperor's Clothes, though nonexistent, strain the masses. How lives must be forsaken for an ideal that is hard to fathom. "Freedom." Is this possibly so? Free... No, I say! We are not free! We are controlled! No, this is not determinism. We still have free will, but we choose not to use it. Penalties are being enforced because of sloth! How do the people expect things to change if they sit complaining. I choose to write, hoping that those who will read these words, will be inspired to do something too! Maybe they pass on my message or, perhaps, a message of their own. Those who do nothing, I say unto you: "Roar Prometheus! You are nothing but chained to a rock!"

Freedom is up to each individual. It is up to everyone! It is the social responsibility for each person to change the agenda of the world. Live, spread the word! Triumphant are those who spread a message of peace and hope and of change, indeed. To end the horrors of war; the horrors of death; verily of massacre, speak out! Be the voice that booms to the heavens and cries, "Nay! I shall not stand for this!" Roar unto the heavens and shake the very foundations of the Earth!

I actually second your opinion as really Mankind is ought to learn the basics of life and it is not logical that till todate we still debate what mankind were debating for centuries.
Also, really freedom is bounded. It is created by God and thus as a creature of God is bounded.
We are free to choose, but ought to choose the right and if we doubt the holybooks morals and virtues and do not agree even on what morals and virtues we can choose for ourselves, then we are going to be always in endless circle that leads to doubt more that agreements.
Finally, we need to be free, yet we can not accept others to be free because their freedom at certain point will cross ours and no judge what is the comfort zone you and me can agree on.
Moreover our focus on differences rather than what is common is being an open space for haterage and fighting.

A good premise, but cut down on those 5 dollar words. Just because you have a great vocabulary, doesn't mean you have to use it when you're writing. Sometimes a simple statement gets the idea across better. Using all the quotes and big words makes it seem kind of pretentious.
But good for you for using your brain and writing. That's awesome, and I wish more people would! =D

Freedom what a fantastic word, however we are not free, you can say all you want, they that control have God, Christianity and capitalism on their side to subdue you and to put fear in you, that if you baulk you shall loose your crumbs
Think if you were free to do as you will with no repercussions, that is freedom

The message is good I suppose, although it's not entirely clear because essay is so poorly written. Freedom's good, seizing freedom is good, overly elaborate phrases that don't mean anything and too much metaphor are not so good.

Aside from lacking knowledge in civics, logic, historical perspective, with a bit of plagiarism thrown in for good measure...You made one weak point indeed!
