In Taiwan – or the Republic of China…. today is “double ten” day… the day celebrated for the liberation from Communist China. I was in Taipei for Double Ten day years ago and it was a wonderful celebration of freedom and independence that the Chinese there lived much more fully than most of us do.
Today I suggest you use this as your mantra. Every action you do and make, remind yourself “I am free to do this!” And as you do also identify what you are NOT free to do. Both can be a surprise and can be shocking, because the social propaganda is that we are
free, WE are the free people, the democracies. Are you free? Really? How free? Its worth looking at!
