Talk to a Tree

For anyone protesting about the obligatory wearing of masks as a loss of freedom.

For those who don’t like being told what to do.

What is your opinion on passports?

Before your last holiday, did you go online to complain or gather in front of government buildings to protest about having to possess a passport for travel?

Now there’s an impingement on your freedom.

If you want to travel, you MUST get a passport. You MUST show it at a border. You are obliged to pay for it, yet it can be taken off you. It gives officials access to your personal information. If they don’t like you or your details, they have the right to detain you. If you do not own a passport, you have no global freedom of movement. Personally, I think that is a huge human rights issue! I’d wager that some people complaining about masks quite like passports because it keeps out people that they consider undesirable.
It’s nice when human rights violations work in your favor.

For those who think they are free thinkers, truth seekers and too smart to be a sheep. From the moment we do what a parent asks us, we are obedient. The day you answer to your name, you are obedient. The day you identify with an nationality, gender, age etc, you are obedient. The fact a western male doesn’t wear a dress, is obedience. Obedience keeps you from dancing and singing on the street, or in a shop. Adhering to Covid restrictions doesn’t change anything, you have always been obedient. The only difference is that YOU feel affected by current restriction. It doesn’t suit you. Yet people outside of Europe and the US (including indigenous Australians and New Zealanders, and US and Canadian tribes) have been struggling with freedom restrictions and forced obedience for centuries. Did you care? Do you care?
Do you care that some people can’t afford a passport? Do you care that in Australia, for example, asylum seekers can be detained for years in a prison-like setting? Do you care that there are people imprisoned for years simply because they used cannabis?

If you are concerned about your freedom of movement and thought. Disconnect your phone from the internet. Don’t allow yourself to be traceable 24/7. Don’t buy a new iPhone because everyone does. Get off social media and go talk to a tree,
You’ll get more truth there.

Defining Freedom

Lost the day you

knew your name

conformed to gender,

culture, shame.

Likes, beliefs are

they your own,

or seeds of

thought from

parents sown.

Endless want, how

it requires

a stern dictator

called desire.

Freedom elusive?

Conclusive.
