Man has a rare and precious possesion: his individuality. He is not a man but the man, for he is like no other: he is himself. It is this endowment that determination his freedom of spirit of freedom of spirit which, in turn, shapes his spirit of freedom, and while this word-play might appear to be a concundrum, reflection proves it to be otherwise: man must first have liberty of thought before he can express liberty in his pattern of living. He must therefore escape forces which threaten to smother his individuality.
The inheritance of independence is great,its worth immense and incalulable. If it does not seem so, it is solely because lack of awareness leads to distorted perspectives. With their visions twisted by communalism, intolerance, ignorance and political slogans, people give way to violence in an effort to 'protect' their freedom; paradoxically, it is by such attempts that they endanger their liberty.
