No binding. New. Kindle Edition. 6 pages. IntroductionThe Spirit of Freedom: Why We Are Here This book is a real-life adventure that explores the Human Spirits desire to be Free. Using thoughts and ideas from prominent thinkers and writers, an imaginative approach is taken to describe some of lifes common pathways (table of contents) that are experienced while growing up and maturing. These pathways enable the reader to separate out issues of; emotions, feelings, behaviors, goals, courage, character, ideals, independence, self-respect, family, relationships; to provide more perceptive and manageable insights into the world they live in. The reason for being here is revealed in the final chapter. The strategy for the latter part of this book is to explore freedom in a more worldly context: democracies, examples of US Patriots for Freedom, freedom of enterprise, scientific and philosophic contrasts, global cultures so as to become more open-minded to the need for respect and restraint when dealing with those of different cultures who have different views and beliefs.
