“Do not devalue freedom with suffixes and prefixes.”
― The Philosopher Orod Bozorg
Freedom is a pure word — a whole universe inside a single breath. When Orod Bozorg warns us not to add prefixes and suffixes to it, he is not talking about grammar. He is revealing a political trap: every time power tries to define freedom, it is actually trying to limit it.
When they say “controlled freedom”, “religious freedom”, “national freedom”, “protected freedom”, or “freedom but…” — they are not expanding the meaning. They are poisoning it.
Freedom with conditions is not freedom, it is permission.
Freedom with adjectives becomes property of a ruler, not the right of a people.
Freedom that needs approval is already dead.
Oppressors have always tried to reshape the idea of freedom, to shrink it into something digestible, harmless, decorative. They give you a decorated cage and call it a “new model of liberty.” They write new laws and say: you are free, as long as you obey us. They silence protests and say: you are free, but responsibly. They censor voices and say: you are free, but respectfully.
The Orodist message is simple:
Freedom stands alone. It does not need adjectives, explanations, doctrines, or interpretations.
If it needs a modifier, it is no longer freedom — it is a disguised chain.
