QuestionHow much of our liberty we are going to offer for our supposed security? Florian GroßerAnswer
Angaangaq Lyberth: Funny, I ask the same question every time I go to an airport. And I go to many airports, Florian. In each airport I meet how my liberty has been robbed because I need to reveal everything I have because they don’t trust me to travel what I need to travel with. So my liberty is being removed. Funny, as it is, because you and I we’re called to be civilized and educated people. But we don’t trust one another. We don’t trust each other. We don’t trust anybody any more. So how much do we need to pay for that security? We’ve become the very ones oppressed as before. We did not like the enslavement of human beings. We did not like dictatorships. We did like colonizations. We did not like the oppression. And lo and behold, because we do not trust one another we’re doing the same just like the old days. Have we advanced? Have we become more advanced in our society? I don’t think so. I mean, look at yourself. Look at yourself the way you are today. Every time you go the airport you’re questioned. Even in the United States every time you go to school you have to go through the metal detectors to see if you have a gun or a weapon. So do you have your liberty? I wonder if you and I we have liberty today. We live in a world supposedly civilized, educated, advanced society and we are so limited because we fear one another. We don’t trust one another. I wonder sometimes do we even like one another? Help me to find the answer. Thank you.
