We have freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, a free-press, and freedom of movement. We live in a country that celebrates freedom.
I am free to think what I think, to speak my mind, to be myself, to believe what I believe, to read and report, and to live my life. These are innate, they feel innate – but these are also afforded to me by the governing rules of this country, and others like it.
For all intents and purposes I am free.

Others do not feel free, although they are afforded the same rights. Others feel oppression, they feel marginalised, they feel judgement, and they feel targeted.

There are some things that are not free to me – I am not free to choose whom I love, nor whomever I am attracted to. I am not free to pick my gender-identity, nor what I consider myself to be. I am not free to decide my spirituality, nor the way in which it manifests – these things are felt, I do not choose them, I allow myself authenticity and they reveal themselves to me.

I open myself to love and love appears, I witness others and attraction occurs, I meditate on my being and my reality reveals itself, I humble myself before the absolute and my ego dissolves.

My right to have and to hold those things does not originate from law, it is innate – they are the core of my experience. Law protects me from others who might attempt to stifle me, or lessen me.

What I am, who I am, who I love, who I am attracted to, what I believe, how I believe it, and my observation of these truths – it is no concern of yours. Nor is your being-ness a concern of mine.

Any attempt to effect or affect my being that elicits control is oppression. My being does no direct harm to you – your freedoms remain.

Neither trespassed nor trespasser.

If your being, if your enactment of your freedom trespasses on others then you are disingenuous – that is not to say that my being cannot contradict your being. We both may disagree, we might consider each pathway full of folly, and we might dislike parts of each other.
We cannot stifle each other though, nor direct, nor oppress. We cannot use ‘cannot’ when speaking to our freedoms.

If my being is causing no direct harm to your freedom of being, then it is no concern of yours.

I am who I am, I am what I am, I love whomever and however I love, and I hold my beliefs in my core. There is no other way to be that I know of.

No direct harm or trespass, no intention of oppression, no stipulation upon your being.
