Freedom

 I just saw a short video on Prager, and the Wise One informed us that freedom is a value not an instinct. Only a thinker (He and I agree on this.) that believes in the universality of original sin visited upon every human being would state that freedom is a learned value, not a basic instinct. We crave safety and security over freedom, and are willing to sell our souls, betray our friends and loved ones, abandon God and our sincerely held values, our dignity, our our freedom, our very lives for a scrap of social approval, some modicum of security, some short term safety gained. We are not very impressive creatures most of the time.

We must be trained up right by pastors, teachers and loving parents to learn to love, to be strong, sturdy individuals, to discipline ourselves, to think for ourselves, to be unselfish, to be courageous in the face of danger, to refuse to renounce liberty no matter the price paid.

The Wise One insists that values matter. Mark Levin warns us repeatedly that liberty is the most important value that we should never compromise over. As the Wise One complains, this lockdown that is constitutionally, medically, legally and morally wrong is a tyranny that Marxist governors inflict upon healthy adults. It must end now.
