Freedom – what is it, really

Real freedom is to be able to live without fear - without fear of destitution, poverty, illness, murder and crime; being able to live; being able to love, one's family and friends and the wider world, because one is not in constant fear ...

Freedom to say what you like on a park stool (fake freedom / fools freedom - no leg irons, perhaps, but economic chains), or the real freedom to live your life ?

The West has decepid infrastructure, mass shootings (about 5 in just the last week), failing healthcare and declining life expectancy, to name a few of its ills. Is it all about the 1% or is it for all the people ?

The West needs to grow up.

In China, the people are family.

In the West, the people are livestock.

When you know you are family, no need to fear, and are free.

A trip to JiaYuGuan 嘉峪关, western end of the Great Wall – video

JiaYuGuan is the first pass at the western end of the Great Wall of China. It lies 6 kilometers southwest of the city of JiaYuGuan in GanSu province. The fortress lies between two hills and near to an oasis that was then on the western edge of China. According to legend, when JiaYuGuan was being planned, the official in charge asked the designer to estimate the number of bricks required; the designer surprised the official by giving him an exact number. The official questioned his judgment, asking him if he was sure that would be enough, so the designer added one brick to the total. When JiaYuGuan was finished, there was one brick left over, which was placed loose on one of the gates, where it remains today. Nearby are the DunHuang Caves (also known as the MoGau Caves); these grottoes date from the 4th century AD and contain Buddhist art from over the next thousand years.
