Now in America, we are seeing the emergence of a toxic and distorted idea of freedom. This “freedom” comes with no consequences and no responsibilities. It is freedom of the individual acting out of the self for the self.
The Ukrainians fought for freedom from Russia. They voted for leaders to keep them free. When one Ukrainian now says s/he is fighting for freedom, they mean freedom that binds them together, the kind of freedom that built America.
America has been the light of freedom for so many countries. Maybe the time has come for us to relearn from the Ukrainians what freedom truly means.
