The quotation by Will Rogers is self explanatory in nature. The meaning of liberty is freedom of opinion and actions. Liberty is the hot issue now a days but5 in depth not fruitful as such. Everyone struggling hard to keep his head above the water regardless of the mounting pulls of gravity towards a life with no choice. Liberty is a phenomenon overly exploited by media and NGO's but actually practiced rarely. The question of liberty arises when people have choices but here the scene is different. In a developing country like Pakistan "choice is an illusion but available to those who have power" Religious concept of Islam gives opportunity of freedom to everyone.
Actually practices speak differently, seminars are conducted and speeches are made for women liberty but of no use. Still our societal norms help to chain women by traditional practices, social pressures and educational ignorance. In the result women are at suffering side although fighting to gain liberty.
Liberty is a bewitching idea that creates a spell if speeches are being made but in routine life it is something that lost charm. It is different as relishing dream from brazen reality, shiny day from dark night and hot summer from cold winter. And the gap is created by the notion to talk more and work little. In the present era the example of Afghanistan destruction is proof of contradiction between said words and committed actions. US the most liberal state talks about absolute liberty but perform absolute autocracy.
In conclusion, liberty is a shady tree conceptually but without roots practically.
I need an opinion about the topic... Is the expansion is according to the quote...?
