Freedom!!
Just
living is not enough…
One
should have sunshine, freedom and a little flower
Hans Christine Andersen
We
got freedom from the British India company long ago, our freedom fighters sacrificed
their life and family for the wellbeing of fellow countrymen, so that their future
generations can live in a free space without any fear of life…After freedom Indian
economy grew amazingly, saw the high of its time and still we are growing at
jet space. But what about the freedom, this technology which is meant for the benefit
of mankind, or to simplify one’s life has slowly become the dictator of our life,
and we people become the slaves of our own developed technology. Technology
which was meant as a boon, became bane. In our daily life we depend for
everything on the technology-based product, in every nook and corner of our
house we can find the technology accustomed and customized things.
Technology
is a useful servant,
but dangerous master.

1.Freedom
from Gadgets: Our
life is totally depending on gadget these days, from the dawn to dusk we are engrossed
in technology. We are virtually connected to people, family and friends but do
we actually talk to them or do we really care about them…We are one touch away
from them but our hearts are distant apart, technology not only makes our life
simpler but gives us new era diseases which is popularly known as sedentary
lifestyle diseases.
What
an irony I’m writing about technology hazards and myself using phone and laptop.
2.Freedom from
Pollution:
Our own created slave is now destroying our mother nature. Hazardous emission
of gases from vehicles and factories are making our environment polluted, which
is not safe for our future generations. Rivers are getting polluted by the
waste from chemicals by factories and industries which is not only endangering
the life of water species but also of human being who are drinking that water. The
funny part is this we used technology to disturb the ecological balance, and
now again we are using technology-based products to rectify the problems. The
air which is highly poisonous in certain areas of India and in during winter season
the weather is not suitable for people, we are using air purifier to clean the
air which is again not good at certain extent. And the most toxic waste that we
are leaving in the environment is E-waste. Electronic waste adversely effects
human health and environment.
3.Freedom
from Plastics: Plastic
pollution is caused by accumulation of plastic in the environment which
adversely affect wild life, marine life and human habitat. Nowadays we are using
plastics everywhere, milk was delivered at our door step in plastic bags. Vegetable
and fruits are packed in the polythene and are easily available to us. Presence
of BPA in plastic products cause serious health issues in human being. We are
using non-disposable diapers, and wipes for the babies and kids which in turn
disturbing our ecological balance. Every household is full of these plastic and
poly bags. If the plastic bags are not disposed of properly and throw here and
there, they can make landfill barren.
4.Freedom from
Adulteration: Mixing
of any type of chemical and pathogens in food to increase the quantity of food
in raw form or prepared form, but they loss the quality standard is known as
adulteration. People for their own use adding the adulterant in food items which
is affecting the health of kids, adults and old people. Adulteration is not
only in food but the medicines also, people are making adulterate medicine
which are causing negative effects on the health of people.
5.Freedom from Rage:
Yes,
I literally meant “Rage” which means
violent and uncontrollable anger. Today’s generation people are so violent that
they can’t control their anger. Everyday we heard about road rage, air rage and there are so many types of rage. What is
the cause of this rage? The Answer is
hidden emotions, when we didn’t express our feelings and emotions, and confined
ourselves. The sudden outburst of emotions
in violent manner is rage. Technology took the human emotions away, we are so
much engrossed in the technicality that we lost all the feelings of love, care,
sadness and anger. We forgot to emote or express our feelings.
I
know the conditions has become worst but still there are chances of improvement.
Before becoming mother even, I didn’t care much about all these things. But now
I realize the importance and usefulness of mother nature and environment. We
can also leave something good for our future generation, so that they can also
survive happily.
When
there is a will, there is a way.
The
solution to every problem is very simple:
Reduce
the use of technology.
Start
Reusing things.
Recycle
the products.
Express
your feelings
These
3 R’s & 1 E can save our environment and it will again became better place
to live.
This
is my idea of freedom to make our society and environment free from all the
hazardous things and make it a beautiful and wonderful place for kids to live
and enjoy it.

ReplyDeleteI love the freedom from rage thought. Raging has become so easy these days all thanks to technology and social media sites like Instagram and Facebook. I doubt people would have the courage to do this face to face. Even if people dont have a first hand experience people rage. Its causing half of the worlds problems today.
ReplyDeleteFreedom is just a state of mind, One needs to be free from self doubt and there is nothing that can't be achieved..kudos to the article
