I didn’t know why

Nua become to be the prostitute.
I know that work is not good
but I agree with her. Because I
think she have to has a necessity
to be like that.Maybe she want a
money to do something but
nobody know. Nual’s life is very
pitiful, she has to do something
that she doesn’t like. I saw she
feel sad everytime she do her
job. The other people should
understand and forgive her.
Everyone can not choose to
born. If she can choose, I think
she have to choose better than
she was.

 Example 2:
When I walked out of prison, that was my mission, to liberate the
oppressed and the oppressor both. Some say that has now been
achieved. But I know that this is not the case. The truth is that we
are not yet free; we have merely achieved the freedom to be
free, the right not to be oppressed. We have not taken the final
step of our journey but the first step on a longer and even more
difficult road. For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains,
but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of
others.
The true test of our devotion to freedom is just beginning. hyperNews
