Meaning

Discern a meaning which isn't made obvious or explicit.

Origin

This expression derives from a simple form of cryptography, in which a hidden meaning was conveyed by secreting it between lines of text. It originated in the mid 19th century and soon became used to refer to the deciphering of any coded or unclear form of communication, whether written or not; for example, one might say "She said she was happy to go to the party but didn't seem concerned when it was cancelled. Reading between the lines, I don't think she wanted to go in the first place".

Fame is linked with so many aspirations that go from acquiring material wealth, to getting attention from the crowd and so many more other advantages.  The reality is that those who aspire to be famous do not always see it as an opportunity to bring about a concrete and positive change in their society.

If we have to look closely at the fame vibe, we can soon realize that those who wish to be fame are not driven by pure and uninterested desires, but rather personal greed that brings back a personal satisfaction.

On the other hand we find the other type of famous people. The one who become fame through their natural and inherent talent. The one whose personality is lead towards achieving the goals that benefit the community and the world at large. The type of people that pursue a positive change that undeniably nurture the society.

Matthew23:11-12
“But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.” (KJV)

What is freedom...?

What is freedom? How is freedom related to liberty? Liberty conveys the idea of the right or the ability of an individual to freely express his will. Freedom on the other hand is a word which contains inbuilt restrictions. “My freedom to swing my hands stops at my neighbour's nose”. A free society contains individuals who are free to do what they do, whilst respecting the freedoms of others. Freedom is the liberty of the individual coupled with concern by the liberated individual for the liberties of others.

Freedom cannot be defined, except through an analysis of the restrictions on human action.

Therefore, the area of freedom available to the individual in any society is a residuary one. The individual is at liberty to do what law and social custom do not forbid. Therefore, the content of the restrictions on liberty are important. What distinguishes a free society from other societies is the nature and extent of the legal and customary restrictions on freedom.

Freedom can be defined only in terms of the restrictions on freedom - and I show some of the legal restrictions on freedom which historically evolved and were responsible for the rise of western civilisation are analysed in this paper.
