And once you gain that freedom the easy part is over. You will have to fight claw & cling to every shred of it. Governments (official or otherwise) will slowly erode & legislate tiny bits of it away because they think you won't care. At that point it gets even harder to regain what you lost. Freedom & self-sovereignty isn't free. The personal responsibility & accountability can be a real pain in the ass, but trust me it's worth every second
When I think about those millions that have lived and still live under the thumb of oppressors it makes more galvanized to seek to live free. Its not on/off. Its not black and white. We have surrendered far to much. We are apathetic and pathetic.

That many of us are born free is an often unappreciated concept, when something is earned it is valued more. Something that stuck with me was after I got my 1st paycheck at 16. I was gonna buy everything I wanted but when I saw the price tags I internally thought hell no. I worked hard for that money & I wasn't gonna waste it.
