The first sentence of the first post is worth taking time to address. Hello all. How are you?
The idea i have been having recently is about freedom. i am wondering if their is some kind of ultimate battle between slavery and Freedom.
There is absolutely a battle between slavery and freedom.
There are those who want to dominate, control, own, and have everything for themselves, while others lose everything and end up with nothing. A huge imbalance is created.
Although it sometimes takes centuries for that imbalance to get so bad that people start to go nuts, (or grow balls, one or the other), it always happens, because in some men, there is an evil, possibly genetic, trait, that causes them to think the world should have less so that they can have more.
Balance is the way the world functions. Things that are not in balance can not survive forever, because eventually something has to give. In gravity, the whole thing will come tipping over. In chemistry, there may be an explosion, or the whole mix is ruined and becomes worthless. In nature, such as the air, when that balance is tipped, you end up with things like pollution -- leading to cancers, or oil polluting the air so the imbalance creates what they now call "global warming".
You see the initial greed of the men who now run the oil companies, and have all the power -- is now leading to destruction of the planet.
A little tiny seed that was from a bad tree -- grew into a big giant tree, and now that big giant tree is out of control, so the entire planet is suffering. And 99.9999999% of the people, as well.
So the answer to your question is -- no. Imbalance should not be tolerated. Wrong should not be tolerated. Greed should not be tolerated. Because in the beginning, it may seem like a small thing, but it never stops growing, and a few centuries later -- look at what this country has created and allowed by it's tolerance of greed. and love of the greedy, who are the rich.
Keep thinking. You are right to consider these things.
