Freedom

The important thing is allowing
the whole world to wake up.
Part of allowing the whole world
to wake up is recognizing that
the whole world is free -
everybody is free to be as they are.
Until the whole world is free to agree
with you or disagree with you,
until you give the freedom to everyone
to like you or not like you, to love you
or hate you, to see things as you see them
or see things differently - until you have
given the whole world its freedom -
you'll never have your freedom.
