Freedom

Freedom is the ultimate dignity of a human being, please handle it with utmost
care. Neither should you interfere in anyone's life nor let any person, religion,
society or scripture intervene in your life. Because...you are unique and the
only one of your kind. No one like you has ever been born before nor would be.
Hence, your only duty as a human being is to safeguard yourself against all and
make the journey of your life a truly memorable one.
