I live in a country that experienced apartheid and come from an ancestry that was under the hands of slavery. The stories of the people I know and the challenges faced impacted the basic survival needs in their existence. Some died as a result of not experiencing a range of the 5 freedoms mentioned in this book.
On a personal level, one of the freedoms as an Indian female that lives in South Africa, that I enjoy today is that I married a colored South African ( mixed race). I am a born Christian, of Hindu/ Tamil descent and I married in Islam but still use a diverse spiritual approach in actually living and expressing my life.
I refer to the following Freedom from the book, which I strongly relate to and believe has a significant impact on my journey, which will impact my daughter in terms of her liberation in her journey ( her dream is to go to America in the future):
"•In the Freedom to Love, America offered a culture that allows for a choice to seek out the one you want to spend the rest of your life with."
I chose to marry my partner and he chose me.
This is not the case even today, many people are forced into relationships that their families believe are beneficial/those that fit societal norms, I have witnessed many younger generations end their lives / being trapped in brutal relationships for this reason alone.
I am grateful to exercise this freedom in my life, even though it still meets judgment, however, it is not met with the severe persecution that existed in past timelines of our history.
I believe a healthy marital relationship infused with authentic love is a beautiful and divine gift that words do no justice in explaining,in terms of the positive impacts it contributes to a society in the long term.

When people act in certain ways we tend to excuse them because not everyone is loved or allowed to love it's crazy but true.
