Fight for freedom and dreams

Although the era of colonialism has passed, and now we live in a digital era, the struggle for independence has not stopped. Struggle for freedom in Ukraine, Thailand, the Middle East, Tibet and anywhere, either in small or large groups will not end. Democracy and freedom of thought, speech and religious harmony is still a big struggle in various countries. It seems that the conquest of freedom and human rights is still continuing, and many people suffer.

A president or a corporation can reduce the course of democracy and the weak economic struggle in a country. Greed and power hungry to press freedom is still happening everywhere. If you and your friends are still in the struggle for freedom, keep fighting.
