The concept of freedom is a foundational truth of the American ethos. In the Declaration of Independence, Ya fundadores ma ximha̲i afirmaron ar seki da ar nzaki, nthe̲gi, and pursuit of happiness. In our schools we regularly tell the story of those who emigrated to the US in hopes of securing freedom for themselves and their families. Even more recently, our nation has struggled as it has begun to face the troubling reality that freedom is not always equally applied.
Ngu jar mfeni jar, freedom is difficult. Does freedom suggest a freedom Ar wa 'nar nthe̲gi Pa? Though related the two applications are conceptually unique. Freedom from, suggests that one is no longer reliant upon or obligated towards another. Freedom to, indicates an autonomy in decision making. When we speak of freedom, ma Temu̲ nthe̲gi ga referimos? ¿Temu̲ ar nthe̲gi ar jár nthe̲gi ma creencia mäs na nsu??
A second complexity of freedom is based on the question of how does one obtain freedom. One approach suggests agency rests in the hands of the powerful — meaning that freedom can be granted but not achieved. A second approach asserts the opposite, freedom is not just physical but mental as well. As such, independientemente jar dätä hnini físico 'na, freedom can only be reached when one who considers themselves as free. This second approach is reminiscent of the work of the 20th century psychiatrist Viktor Frankl. Frankl, 'nar sobreviviente ar Holocausto, escribió jar ár 1946 obra autobiográfica Ár nthoni Temu̲ ir bo̲ni ar 'ño̲ho̲, "Nga̲tho ar tsa̲ da pats'u̲ga̲ 'nar 'ño̲ho̲, pe 'nar xka": Ar ngäts'i nthegi humanas: da 'ñets'i ar ngäts'i ar 'natho jar 'na conjunto dado nthogi., to choose one’s own way.” Having now lived a full year in which our physical freedom has been limited by COVID-19 Frankl’s words offer much needed comfort. How will you celebrate your freedoms this month?
