Colored freedom and democracy

As to us who have attended higher education, we probably understand more about freedom and democracy than others. During our student age, we even always indulge in the rights of our freedom and democracy on many unusual cases. You will understand what I am talking about. However, to most of us, except the rarely few peculiars, can we insist on our past free behavior after involving ourselves more in the regular society? You may have the same answer as I have.

Sometimes, I hear some of my close friends complaining of their unwillingly giving up in the work place and social occasions. How I understand their situation and moods. I am not an exception and I guess all of us may have similar story during our growth. But, whether we should choose to react oppositely or yield a little to the situation, I am prone to the latter. Of course, that opinion is just for us who have already started our realistic society life. To some extent, our higher education background is just a fundamental preparation process for our future life in the society. In university, we should not just splurge our freedom and democracy; the more important thing may be to understand the rules of society spiritually.

The above is certainly not my whole point. I want to write about colored freedom and democracy. We know, people are categorized as white and colored. And I think the partition is not just limited to those concrete and live. Abstract things also have colors, such as today’s topic freedom and democracy.

As common human rights, freedom and democracy are like a beacon blazing a great deal of people and may be dreamed of by many more. However, the disappointing fact is we hardly enjoy them without barriers especially after we enter the society. As colored people are discriminated sometimes, freedom and democracy are barely welcome and respected on many working places and other social occasions. That’s the rule of the society and exists in almost all industries. We are expected and in some way made to bow. That’s the truth of life.
