The Spirit of Freedom

     This book is a real-life adventure that explores  the Human Spirit’s desire to be Free. Using thoughts and ideas from prominent thinkers and writers, an imaginative  approach is taken to describe some of life’s common pathways (table of contents) that are experienced while growing up and maturing. These pathways enable the reader to separate out issues of; emotions, feelings, behaviors, goals, courage, character, ideals, independence, self-respect, family, relationships; to provide more perceptive  and manageable insights into the world they live in. The ‘plot’ developed for answering the question “why are we here?” uses ‘character-driven behaviors’  that help develop one’s sense of direction, motivation, individuality, optimism and purpose. The reason for being  here is  revealed in the final chapter.

     The strategy  for the latter part of this book is to explore freedom in a more worldly context: democracies, examples of US Patriots for Freedom, freedom of enterprise, scientific and philosophic contrasts, global cultures and their  respective beliefs;  so as to become more open-minded to the need for respect and restraint when dealing with those of different culture who have different views. Our US Constitution is used to illustrate a  system of governing that was designed for  a  moral, spirited and freedom loving people. Every citizen the age of 21 or older is encouraged to participate (vote),  work for a better democracy and a better world, seek a  Global Unity by fostering  A Spirit of Freedom.
