"No man has any natural authority over his fellow men"
-Jean Jacques Rosseau
The heart of Paris was filled with people in all class. Most of them is listening to young man's speech.
"The king is seating on his throne of gold as he let his people suffer in hunger! How long should we wait until we say 'Enough! '? My fellow citizens! I ask you to rise up and know it is your right to live! It is our right to be free! "
"DEATH TO THE KING! " a man from the crowd shouted. And it triggered the crowd to rally whilst shouting "Vive la France "
Every once or twice a week this group organize this type of rally.
"Être Librè" one of them said. Indeed, is there anything greater than freedom?
Freedom is humans basic right. If you stop anything from being free everything around will be stagnant. After all Freedom is the oxygen of the soul, what will happen to the soul when it lacks of freedom. It becomes sick or worse die.
They prefer death. Fighting for what they believe in than live a life while those around them are suffering. Freedom is not free, it is something you need to fight for.
The bureaucrats can mock or laugh at them if they want but it will not stop them from fighting. They believe that people will rise up and join them. It is freedom or death.
If David can slay a giant... So are they!
Julien Enjolras, the young man who leads the said group. He calls him a Marble Man but his heart is tender for his fellow citizen, yet when angered he tends to become terrible. Yes, he came from a rich family but did not stop him from pursuing his passion. Fighting for freedom. His passion shines brighter than the sun that he was even compared to the Sun God, Apollo.
He is indeed like a sun. He brought light. He is the light. He gave the people hope.
I was nothing but a writer who followed and will follow him until the end.
