journal 18



“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
---Albert Camus

I would have to agree with Camus statement that can be interpreted as one having to express themselves and protest some things in order to 'survive' this world. We cannot live a life living as slaves and sheep following orders and ideals that are expected and thrown at us. One of the options we have to combat this is to express our beliefs along with rebel against things we do not agree with.
A reason as to why I agree with this quote is based on history. In the past, majority of the population lived as slaves or unequal to those who seem to be in charge. Due to the injustices that have occurred whether being towards sexes, race, culture, and so on, countless groups have rioted and rebelled against such rules placed by society in attempt to see change.
