HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 135|THEME :FIGHT OPPRESSION|REDEMPTION SONG BY BOB MARLEY(COVER)

Hello friends! I welcome you to the 135th week with a very Unique and important theme which is "Fight Oppression".

Although, generally, oppression means an unjust treatment especially from one in power or authority, it also according to Google search, means mental pressure or distress. In life, we face various kind of oppressions almost everyday from work, family, government, businesses and so on... Our first instinct is to fight it. Probably because are created with a good sense and desire of freedom and when that freedom is infringed, our first instinct is to fight it no matter the cost.

When I was reflecting on this theme, it occurred to me that we cannot effectively fight external oppressions that come from different areas of our life without first of all fighting the inner self oppression which comes in forms of depression, not beign confident, doubts, insecure, mood swings, not being contented with the little we have and so on...

We need to emancipate our self from mental slavery and that is when we can be really free in our minds, and capable to fight for external freedom from oppressions.

So in response to the theme I have chosen to sing a very Legendary song titled "Redemption Song"by a legendary Musician "Bob Marley". The song highlights the importance of fighting for freedom from oppression but most importantly we have to achieve that freedom in our minds.

I hope you find some message in this perspective of the theme and I also hope you enjoy the song.***
