The Cost of Our Personal Freedoms
To be free is a desire that almost all humans share, whether that manifest itself in the form of freedom to speak our truths, the freedom for individual agency, or the freedom to live personal prosperous lives (whatever that may look like).
Where do we find ourselves when our own desires for freedom comes at the expense of others - people who we may never meet, but are indirectly, and at times directly, impacted in our staunch stance to protect what we want? There is this debate that we deserve the rights to X, or should be free to X, but is this "we", in a sense, more selfish than what we choose to accept?
Is there a line we can draw, or a change we can spare, that may be sacrificial in interest or hobby, but not in the lives of the innocent?

Hillary Clinton’s final campaign for office ended in a shocking defeat. But she isn’t going quietly into the night.
“I think the country’s at risk, and I’m trying to sound the alarm so more people will at least pay attention,” Clinton told NPR.
That said, her career as a candidate is over.
“I’m done. I’m not running for office,” Clinton said. But for those, including Democrats, who would like her to just go away? “Well, they’re going to be disappointed,” she said.
“I’m not going anywhere. I have the experience, I have the insight, I have the scars that I think give me not only the right, but the responsibility to speak out,” Clinton said.
In her new campaign memoir, What Happened, and in interviews with Morning Edition’s Rachel Martin and NPR’s Tamara Keith, Clinton talks about her own failings, but she doesn’t hold back on calling out sexism in American politics and heaping criticism on President Trump.
