THE FIVE FREEDOMS

TO SEE AND HEAR WHAT IS HERE,
INSTEAD OF WHAT SHOULD BE,
WAS OR WILL BE,

TO SAY WHAT ONE FEELS AND
THINKS, INSTEAD OF WHAT ONE
SHOULD,

TO FEEL WHAT ONE FEELS,
INSTEAD OF WHAT ONE OUGHT,

TO ASK FOR WHAT ONE WANTS,
INSTEAD OF ALWAYS WAITING FOR
PERMISSION,

TO TAKE RISKS IN ONE'S OWN
BEHALF, INSTEAD OF CHOOSING
TO BE ONLY "SECURE" AND NOT
ROCKING THE BOAT.
