This year, I plan to spend this diary considering the meaning of liberty.
It is a word that has become a litmus test for an individual’s political beliefs, moral beliefs, ethical beliefs, and cosmic beliefs, whether used in face to face discussion or in endless argument comment threads with strangers on the internet.
It’s in fashion now to bash the year 2020, and to say that the turning of the Gregorian calendar from December to January means something. It’s a type of catharsis that we need in order to focus on the present.
What I hope to do is to use the theme of liberty to start building a vision for the future, grounded in the present.
Where do we go from here?
