Time is the ultimate witness of mortality. When man is young, time means no more than a counting tool for accomplishments, or the lack thereof, often in the context that life will continue to be so in an infinite future. But man has to deal with time eventually. In his deathbed, time will ask a foolish man: "Now that your time has run out, what meaning have you found in it?"
Most people believe that once people gain their freedom from oppressors, they became free. History shows that's not necessarily true. Our oppressors are not outside us but within us--pride, fear, covetousness... These sinful vices keep people in bondage using chains that no amount of uprising can break.
