30 Days of Gratitude: 1/30 Butterfly Fly Away...

I've been inspired by a friend to start a project called "30 days of gratitude".
It is basically, taking a photo each day for a month, and list one thing you are grateful for.
Since the internet was disconnected during the first week of November, I wasn't able to start in the beginning of the month. But it won't make a big difference, would it?

Today, I am grateful for being a free person. For being able to think with a clear mind and being able to see, not just look. I am grateful for not being controlled by the media and hypnotized by music, mind-controlling song lyrics and subliminal messages in commercials, movies and even children's cartoons.
To have a vision is something rare these days. It amazes me how the general public allow certain groups of people to take over our lives. To dictate what we should and should not do. What we should wear, how we should think, what actions we should take, and present us with disposable, ready-made personalities and characteristics. Use them, achieve their goals, dispose of them, and present us with brand new glittery ones. "Change", they call it.
Lies are becoming the new facts, and facts are being ridiculed. Simply because they sound absurd, simply "they" said so.
Talking about this subject is never ending, and probably some of you might disagree and find the whole idea preposterous.
But I am grateful.. grateful for not being a part of this evil cycle, and not being enslaved to "their" freedom. Freedom is not just having the right to chose something over the other, blue over green, or pink over red. Its having the right to KNOW what blue is, and what red is.
