Before I go any further I wish to explain , at least to my understanding what Human freedom means. Before we talk of Human freedom we need to know what it means to have freedom.While the dictionary explains freedom as ‘the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint’ I will just give one brief definition of my own, freedom is the ability to enjoy all rights granted by the laws governing a people.
Human freedom in this case will mean the ability to enjoy all human rights irrespective of affiliation be it economical ,social, religious or political.
Human beings must be able to do the right things for the right reasons at the right time if freedom is to be protected. As we deliberate on this topic we need to appreciate that there are limitations to the extend of one enjoying his/her freedoms,one should not suppress others in the event of trying to please themselves or live to the fullest of their expectations.
Nature of human freedom should be defined by Culture of Life. A culture, which must be upheld by all humans to promote sanity and dignity in society.Human freedom should not only be limited to protection of people from socio-political and economic injustices, it should be all round, for instance we need to safeguard the interests of the unborn even though they pose a challenge to our political struggles, the unborn have to be protected to guarantee continuation, humans can only be free if their growth too is free from control, Since all men possess dignity given to them by God even before birth, the urge and need to build a culture of life should be propagated. This I say because many nations come in with arm twisting policies to reduce population at the expense of human life,this culture must be avoided by all means.Instead of inducing artificial constraints it is better to focus on how we can increase Human participation in development,this will increase prosperity and will go way ahead to contribute to the development of the human person.
Human dignity does not amount to freedom to do whatever one pleases,it is the ability to do the right thing at the right time for the right reasons.This should advise our actions to avoid struggle to justify our selves at the expense of other people that we live in because we are all born with dignity in equal proportion irrespective of class, level of intelligence economical or political power.
“He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.” ~Thomas Paine
Conclusion
Therefore human freedom must be earned,for us to live in harmony we must give that which we desire to receive, we must be fair to all,we must respect all and champion for the rights of all irrespective of their background or status because those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
This is His Excellency The President of the republic of Kenya 2040
