'NECKLACE OF INDEPENDENCE' BY AJAKAYE STRIDA.

What an absolute truth of Elbert Hubbard, ' Freedom cannot be bestowed_ it must be achieved. ' The purity in every natural thought assumes the swiftness and ease of independence but the pillars of the world have names attached to it. Call it a threat or a bundle of eager pen but the magic of truth is honestly bitter. 

Similarly, between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom. All men are born with the glass cup filled with the tales of cruelties and beauties. Yet after the break of dawn we pray for butter after bread and tea.

Now this is the story of every life, Independence is good as life itself, as we sleep all night, battling for the task of seeing the morning, so is the race of independence. Whether man enjoys it or not, the dissatisfaction of freedom of Independence  is inevitable, for no soul can stay a day without the partnership of another. You can stand tall, straight ,cool, caIm and collected and still seek the shadow of another. Independence is nothing but a chance to be better, Self_ Reliance is golden beautiful necklace.
