Liberty-Equality-Capitalism

What is liberty? Is it absolute? Is liberty natural? Is justice legal or is it moral? Dwelling on the ideas of liberty, morality and legality makes us giddy. A true free man is one who is free naturally. One who doesn’t fear laws or worry about morality? Natural instincts are the only rules that the true free man abide by. The government, the ruling classes and their ideology hold us hostage in the name of development. We may not necessarily relate or agree to either their style of ruling or their ideology. The act of governance itself is synonym of perfidy to the natural ethos of justice. Is development the concrete that is erected in a matter of days or is it the new anti missile system coming up in your country? Public good by the government may not necessarily be its motto but public control surely is. The rulers are in control of you and me. The company, corporation or any entity you work for is bound by capitalism. Capitalism, which is the son of Darwinism theory of natural selection, is marred with irony. The Irony that people perceives capitalism to bring justice by bringing equality and inclusive development while capitalism’s true nature is wiping out the unfit. Justice and equality are two different entities anyways, and as we all know, justice does not always equal equality.
