陕北唢呐高称平视频:何为自由

What is freedom? 

何为自由

A lot has been done in the name of freedom. A lot has been said and written about freedom. 

很多人以自由的名义做事，很多人以笔墨书写自由。

In the past six months, the world witnessed Tunisian uprising, Egyptian revolution and Libyan civil war. Thousands of people fought for freedom, hundreds of people lost their lives (for freedom), people are craving for freedom. But, what exactly is freedom? We are fighting for it, we are ready to die for it, we are craving for it, but, can we really define it?
在过去的六个月里，整个世界目睹了突尼斯起义，埃及革命和利比亚内战。无数人为自由而战，为自由而献身，他们坚持着对自由的渴望。然而，自由究竟是什么，它又是为什么可以令我们为之奋斗，为之牺牲，为之着迷？我们是否真正懂得自由的含义？

Albert Camus thinks freedom is a chance to be better. Abraham Lincon calls it best hope of Earth. Epictetus says it's the right to live as we wish. For Moshe Dayan it's oxygen for soul. For me, freedom has a deeper and greater meaning. I think freedom is much more than just a right, it's a responsibility of doing what you think is good, not only for you but even for society.

诺贝尔文学奖获得者阿尔伯特·加缪说，自由就是让生活变得更好的一次机遇。林肯说，自由是这个星球上最美好的愿望。希腊哲学家埃皮克提图说，自由就是我们可以依照自己意愿生活的权利。以色列将军摩西·达扬说自由就是令灵魂存在的氧气。在我看来，自由有着更深刻更伟大的含义。自由不仅仅是一个权利，更是一种责任。它告诫我们去做我们认为对的事情，为我们自己，更为整个社会。自由

Freedom is a state when one realizes their duties and starts respecting others' freedom.Freedom is when we realize that we can do absolutely anything except force another person to follow us in our madness or our lust for life. Freedom is when we are no longer slaves to our desires. Freedom is when we have the courage to speak out what we know is true, do what we feel is right, and fight for what we think is unfair. One shouldn't really fight for freedom; rather, they should try to achieve it.
当我们意识到自己的责任，并开始尊重他们的自由的时候，那一刻就是自由。当我们知道我们可以做任何事情，但不强迫他人遵从我们疯狂的想法的时候，那一刻就是自由。当我们不再做欲望的奴隶的时候，那一刻就是自由。当我们有勇气说出我们所知的真相，做我们感觉正确的事情，反抗我们认为的不公平的时候，那一刻就是自由。我们不应为自由而战，而应努力去实现创造自由。

"In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved."
“真正意义上的自由不是从天而降，而是需要我们通过努力去实现。”
