Fable

Once there was this fat fat frog that lived alone in the sewage because he was always made fun of from others because of his appearence. He was lonely and always wanted to make friends. One day a group of cool rats were surfing in the sewage near him. The frog really wanted to join them and have fun. So he made up a lie and went up to them and said he can surf while the toilet is being flushed... Everyone suddenly became curious and asked him to show them. The frog didn't want to disappoint them and really wanted to become their friends, so he gave it a try and when he did it he drowned and was never found again.

Freedom

In my opinion I think freedom is the right for a person. For people to do what they want, without concerning about what others think or say. Just to have equal opportunities in life. Everyone wants freedom, however in my opinion it is really hard to have freedom completely, I doubt we will ever be truly free, because we are limited by law, rules and the society we live in. Also we are limited from what we morally think However some countries or people have less freedom than some of us have. For example some women in certain religions or certain countries are not allowed to wear what they want, or even some men in certain countries are forced to enter the army and serve for the country. There are many types of political freedom as well, ex:freedom of speech-people being able to say what they want. Freedom of religion- being able to worship or practice religion in front of people or public. Freedom of bear arms- freedom for a person to be able to carry guns for their own safety.e.t.c. These are limited freedom that the government or the country gives people at some places. These political freedoms are only free when the government or law allows, so this wouldn't really be freedom from your choice. I think freedom is getting less and less in the world, compared to when slavery was going on in the world, we might not notice, but we have so much freedom in our lives, we talk, we say what we want, we eat what we want.e.t.c. However only to an extent, it is just morally impossible for a person or the world to have complete freedom.
