I couldn't breathe or fit into a growing red China.
I would never protest or speak my mind for the fear of losing the little freedom that I had, more so the safety of my love ones.
So I escaped and started restoration and healing in the land of downunder.
Now the suffocating condition returns when I witness my fellow citizens fighting for our freedom, and are under the tyranny of our elected government.
This is the most difficult realisation. I ran from a wolf to a wolf in sheep's clothing.

That sounds so incredibly stifling in a very scary way. I’m sorry you guys are going through this.

The government should be putting all the resources into fixing their own problems of getting the vaccines and increasing the distribution outlets, rather than trying to control the people … which is a cover up for their own earlier incompetencies

While tempting to say, ‘People get the government they deserve’, that, in this age of hyper-interactivity (social media et. al.) causes one to pause.
Like the old saying reminds us, ‘A mob is usually louder than the reasoned thought of the individual’

Powerful words, Cassa. I’ll quote Benjamin Franklin for this post: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

I so agree. Freedom is not free. And we only feel the need of freedom when we lose it.
