3. Those who deny freedom to others, do not deserve it for themselves....
(I have answered this by assuming that this question isn't associated with any of your subjects and only in general context)
Life is like a fair coin. It has both ups and downs. When you toss a coin at a given instant it may show heads but immediately it will flip to the tail. So is the case with life. It's too unpredictable. It's simply as random as the thoughts emerging in our minds.
At times destiny may not be on our side. You may need to be harsh and tough for your victory. But this victory comes at what cost? What is the value of this victory if it just obtained by crushing your people and dictating them for your cause? Is their freedom in your hands? What if your destiny changes and then your freedom goes into other hands? One will come to know the value of freedom only when one undergoes a situation where your freedom is at stake.
We all are just battling ourselves in this world to strive for ourselves, and not just one. In the process, we may even neglect our surrounding ones' needs for our cause. This is the harsh truth of life everyone must accept. We humans have emotions that separate us from the rest of living and nonliving things. We humans think for a cause, think for a reason, think for an emotion. We are gifted with this thinking that makes us special as well as responsible beings on Earth.
Freedom doesn't only mean for human beings. Freedom is also required for plants and animals too. Let the plants and trees grow freely, why kill them and indirectly put your own life and freedom at risk. Let the animals roam freely in the forest. Why capture them and keep them in the zoo for your profits?
Freedom isn't singular. Freedom applies to many aspects of life. There must be freedom of thoughts, freedom of speech, freedom of travel, freedom for information, etc. Everything is required for a human being and nothing of the above should be neglected, although in certain emergency cases restrictions can be imposed for controlling.
History is full of examples. Great personalities like Hitler and Raavan hindered fellow persons' freedom and tried to achieve something, which for them is a good cause, have failed miserably and got defeated.
At the same time, too much freedom isn't either good. Because some cunning wolves among the common folks will try to misuse their freedom and will try to figure out the loopholes in the system. Abstract things like freedom and love can't be seen but can only be felt. These abstract things are so deep. One needs to think for a similar depth to understand their importance. These are like a see-saw and the correct balance is required for the smooth running of our life. By balance I imply limited usage. Too much freedom or little freedom isn't good.
Some hard-hearted and empty-minded people may not understand this balance required and may give full or no freedom. Those people don't deserve freedom for themselves.
