Tomorrows' Freedom

For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces the fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.
- Alice Walker 

Red Arrows by David Green
This has a melancholy feel to it. Full of despair, perhaps hurt or anger. It is like a man taking his dying breathe, accepting his fate because there is nothing else to do. Yes, freedom can be lonely, and we must face our fears every singe day. But we forget the hope of tomorrow as well. With each new fear triumphed, we gain one small ounce of hope. And that is the reason we must live till tomorrow, even with a new volley of fears prepared to shoot us down. We will stand strong, because we have hope in a greater freedom.
