FREEDOM PERSPECTIVE

Sometimes being free can be a bad thing because you don’t realize that you’re hurting yourself, and sometimes being free can be a good thing because it helps you see more clearly the world and the things around you. Since COVID-19, many people are isolated from each other. People who live on the other side of the country can’t reunite with their loved ones. People who are in jail can’t see or talk to their loved ones. Their isolation can cause a lack of motivation and changes in eating or even sleeping habits. This seems sad and hopeless. It seems that the world has gone dark and the people that live in it—us—can’t be free.

The world might be getting darker and darker, but there’s hope in the future. I can assure you that the world won’t end, but instead it will get better. We can be free, but don’t risk it by going near people who don’t care about the lives of others. Being free is a good thing but a bad thing. The only thing that helps us to see and to direct us toward life is how we see the word.
