Abstract
The essence of celebrating our country’s independence from political control cannot be reflected in parades, fairs, or even speeches. Gaining liberty necessitates for a continuous struggle of taking heed the lessons of the past. We will be free if we surpass the common problem of poverty. We will be free if we hurdle the usual political exploitation that we experience from abusive elements in society. We will be free if we are empowered to stand by our rights. We will be free if we know how to respect the rights of our fellowmen. And we will be free if we are able to change and reform our government for the better.
