Do you the ability to to understand what it is like to live in a super power nation..

. . . and fear for your life from friends and family of what decisions you publically make.

I doubt that many if any of you can truely understand what it is like to fear that your next decision or opinion publically voiced that differs from that of your friends and family would mean your death.

What happened the last time you said or had an opinion that differed from your family? a loud arguement? a temporary falling out? your death?

What about the last time your had a difference with friends? loss of friends? a few days of silent treatment? your death?

How about the last time you objected to a religious leader, were you killed for it?

How about the last time you objected to a political leader, did you live with threat of dying for it?

Can you understand even in the minutist inkling of fearing for your life for any thought, opinion or idea you express out loud?

understanding fear

Well there was that one time when I got that phone call in the middle of the night that said
"You're working for Hitler, and we're going to get you. We're going to get you all ."

But I gave them as much credit as I do unregistered.


No, I don't know that feeling. I am thankful for the freedoms
I enjoy because of where I was born, and the sacrifices my ancestors made to see that I had that advantage.

true enough but there are many living in free countries who those same choices and sacrifices were made for that do have that daily fear for thier lives.

I was just wondering if anyof us truely knew the fear or could even understand the fear they live in daily.

I can honestly say that I do not understand it in a physical sense, of how in countries like Canada or america a person could fear for thier life from friends and family for the choices and opinions they make, but there are those, some even born here that have to live with that daily.

The fear they live in keeps them silent when the world calls for thier voice to be heard.

Its amazing tha that fear exists anywhere in the 2000's let alone in civilized nations.
