Freedom & mayhem

lots of liberating and freedom movement arises those days demanding, mumbling and jargon about supporting the basic and yet excessively weary emblem of human rights (freedom).These movements promoted by individuals, government officials, scholars & many others.
Freedom is considered to be the most demanded controversial subject of inquiry, man fought for, died for and even supplicated for (as for Egyptians). This concept is yet to be judged not for what it addresses but how man made use of it. Now here is a question that we ought to think of keenly when we are hit with this noble word in its basic core, did freedom become more of a service? Or it exacerbates mayhem?
Well i think it's a blend of both, it depends on how its utilized in the context. Freedom will always be used as a medium to enforce and promote anarchy when ever needed. Gary Adams Sinn Féin's most prominent figure said:"It will always be a battle a day between those who want maximum change and those who want to maintain the status quo."
And honestly i was really surprised to see the word (free) used as an initial for lots of ordinary topics to add more value or to extravagant, free trade, free press..etc.
But the jackpot and the one that really irritates me is (freewill), its will so rationally it should be free if he is oppressed so he doesn't have a will in the first place. Under the umbrella of freedom lots of sub terminologies have found a haven to flourish like liberalization, modernization, nationalism, pragmatism...etc. Add to that how the excessive use of this word have contributed in wars (USA invasion to Iraq, The Crusade wars..etc). All these reasons proves that free and all derivatives can be generated from it is nothing but a tool to erect human feeling and prompt them to act according to the addressee's agenda. In the end i must say that freedom is a promiscuous term and yet it is very lucid, that makes it a very dangerous mean of recruitment. And for all whom still asking does freedom exist, well i don't think so, it’s a mere man made word to feel better about his existence and help him boost his ego, freedom is always accompanied with roles to preserve it, and since you are obliged to follow them so you are bound to it so you are not free.
