Freedom. First encounter.

 

(This is an essay written like a letter to Helene, instructor of POLS 0820. )

 

I didn’t notice the importance of the concept of freedom until two years ago. It came to me through Bush’s second inaugural speech, “There Is No Justice without Freedom” Before he spoke, I assumed that he would elaborate on combating terrorism, but he turned the speech into a praise song of the idealism of liberty. And his justification for Iraq was done by invoking the cause of freedom:

Eagerminds. Embarks.

In order to faciliate discussion and exploration,

more specificly,

exploration on the topic of freedom,

and even more specificly,

on the things related to freedom presented by a course named POLS 0820A in some strange school with a color as its name,

 

Some eager animals convene here,

Looking around at the beautiful yet mysterious world,

Sniffing,

Searching,

Scratching their heads,

Busy contemplateing.

 

They wonder loudly,

What is beyond the mountains,

What beneath the rivers.

They marvel at every colorful shell brought to them by the summer waves,

and every leaf that falls with a wintry breaze;

They love,

every star that twinkles,

Every drop of water,

And every beam of sun shine.

 

They pray,

That their journey is worthwhile;

They imagine,

That they are right in direction;

They hope,

And sometimes, they even believe,

That one day,

They may really understand everything out there.

 

In order to see the world with brighter eyes,

In order to appreciate the beauty of mind,

Fate brought them here together by the same intense cuiosity.

 

Please help them ,God.
