1984 Quotes:

"WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."

The first phrase would provide us an idea that war would bring peace. The fear of retaliation, death and destruction of a nation would depend on the reaction a country would receive if at war. War is a deterrence. It is amazing how many countries are confined within their boundaries because any movement would cause a war because that the country loses part of their territory.

Freedom is slavery, is a true statement because one has to work hard to earn pay, position, authority or even respect. This would enslave people to work harder to attain more in life. Why would people want to achieve status, wealth and position were in the process they are enslaved by their actions rather than the gains they get from hard work? All a slave has to do is to follow the order of his master. He has a free place to stay, free food, and a job he could do well. A slave has no stress, knows his position in society and assured of his basic needs daily.

Ignorance is strength, the fear of the unknown would make us better. Would a person make a mistake if he is scared of the unknown? A person would do the right thing if he or she is not aware of the consequences. Ignorance is not an excuse but a motivational or even an inspirational factor for a person to search for the truth, knowledge and most of all experience to become better. Acknowledging ignorance would be the first step to gain strength and to over come this fear would strengthen our goal or objective in life.
