The first and undeniable is freedom of conscience
If freedom of conscience then freedom of expression
If freedom of expression then freedom of association
If freedom of association then freedom of representation
If freedom of representation then free and fair election.
The enemies of freedom will seek to limit all freedoms
But they are without power over our sacred allegiance
That is why all freedom starts with freedom of conscience.
The enemies of freedom will seek to abuse freedom
Make it serve another master
But there is no freedom without compassion.
January 1st 2016. Much discussion about freedom and its significance – for the individual, the organisation, and our struggle to overcome difficulties in 2016.
