I asked my grandfather who fought in two world wars, just before he died for his blessing and his advice in life. Here is what he said to me.
“Son, you only live once, make sure you do all the things you want to do, or at least try, and you will have a clear conscience. There are so many things that I never did because I was afraid of failure, I never even tried. The only real obstacle was me by setting limits in my mind.â€With that always in mind, as I grew up and faced seemingly impossible tasks, I realised what he really meant. This was especially true when I fought for the independence of Britain (BREXIT). I wanted to ensure that my children would have the opportunity to determine their own future via the ballot box.
Freedom and Democracy are terms that are, in theory, inextricably linked but often are, in reality, big illusions. We often realise that we have neither Freedom nor Democracy. Decisions are made elsewhere for us without us. Independence seemed like an impossible task at first. It turned out to be an incredible journey. It was an odyssey and, in the end, we found our proverbial Ithaca.
For the individual, it starts when you realise and accept that you are not free and you live in a sham democracy. The next step is a no-brainer. You either accept the problem and do something about it, or you pretend it’s not happening, you bury your head in the sand, and avoid confrontation. Throughout history, apathy is the main reason that tyrannies thrive, and liberties succumb to abuse.
Independence For Your Country Is Not An Impossible TaskIndependence may seem impossible because it hasn’t happened in your country in your lifetime. But when you really get in the trenches and try you will have a better understanding of what it takes. You may be pleasantly surprised.
