Real freedom for me cannot be seen physically. Freedom for me is being happy in everything we do. Even if we are in prison or being enslave but we managed to laugh and enjoy our life that is real freedom.

Freedom for me is a mindset that everything that is happening is destiny, we cannot undo it, it is accepting everything that comes our way and that we managed to smile live and enjoy our situation even though it is not comfortable.

Freedom is the ability to transcend above our physical and emotional boundedness. It is freedom of the soul that cannot be taken away by despair nor chaos.

To be able to say what you think, to marry whom you love, to go where you want, to speak with whom you want, to eat whatever you want.

Unfortunately in my country you can not criticize the government because you run the risk of being killed.

The television channels and many newspapers are manipulated by the government, much news is manipulated. People are not free to say what they think

This guy has it right, I bolded what I think freedom is.

Funny thing, in my country we can criticize the government all we want and they can't do anything. However, our media is also heavily manipulated and censored. Free country lol that doesn't exist on this planet.

Where are you from?

There are a few countries that are close to that. Here in Serbia, rarely anything is censured but there a lot of pressure on people to look at and listen to our Lord and Savior, our Overlord Aleksandar Vucic. But yeah, there are some maniplations here and there but nothing that much with big of an impact. Tho corruption is curently one of the bigger problems.

Hey,

Real freedom? Theres are basic rules on society  Grin Freedom to speak is one of those, privacy and way of make living.

Cannabis legalization is one thing what they dont wanna talk in Finland.

One my point is, some people can be many years away on freedome and eating pills, looking apathetically on roof (i dont talk about inmates)

Happy new year 2017

Quote from: Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph April 14,1958
Freedom is neither license nor anarchy: It does not mean chaos or the use of tooth and nail. Freedom does not give any man or group the right to steal, to use fraud or aggressive force or threats of same to get what one wants.

Freedom is the right of the individual to choose how he controls himself, so long as he respects the equal rights of every other individual to control and plan his own life. Freedom is thus not the ability to do whatever you want. It is self-control, and self-government, no more, no less.

Quote from: Wendy McElroy
Thus "freedom is self-control" leads to the conclusion that as acting individuals, we must respect the rights and boundaries of others. In other words, every individual should control his or her actions such that they do not aggress or invade against other individuals or their rightfully owned properties. "Freedom" as "self-control" points up the dual nature of human existence: of the Self (mind, soul, and spirit) housed in a physical body. Human beings require both spiritual freedom and physical liberty

The evolution of the social contract is a progressive climb to systems with increased overall freedom. The state of nature begat tribalism. Tribalism grew into despotism. Despotism advanced into monarchy. Monarchies were replaced by republics. Each iteration has a common theme for each advance increased the overall cooperative activity and freedom the system permitted.

The ultimate driver behind this process is Ethical Monotheism for this is the underappreciated foundation that freedom rests upon. The Ten Commandments are often misunderstood as as restrictions. In reality they are the road map to freedom. To better understand this I highly recommend the following 5 minute video clip from Prager University.

God Wants Us To Be Free

Freedom out-competes slavery. This is why the Odin worshiping vikings were replaced by Christian vikings. It is the ultimate reason why Arab polytheism was replaced by Islam and why the Jews who who's traditions demand an individual understanding and observance of scripture have so excelled.

Quote from: Bob LeFevre
A person is responsible for every action he takes and for every action he refuses to take. Thus, he is responsible for commissions and omissions, and whether these are good or bad. The individual is the responsible unit. Responsibility cannot be collectively delegated. Each person is responsible in exactly the same way and to the same degree that every other person is.

At the level of the individual we again return to choice. Do we truly care about freedom or do we care about our cravings and wants? If we choose freedom we must embrace that which makes freedom possible. If we choose whims and desires we should admit to ourselves that we do not prioritize freedom and are most concerned with our ability to sate our appetites.

Live every day like its your last day on earth.
What is real freedom in your view? Huh Undecided

Freedom is when we can do anything without fear or worry. For example, when you want to travel somewhere, but you are afraid to go there because for example you have the enemy in place. Or freedom is when we are not under pressure to lead a life of anyone. Suppose you pressured by your parents to get married, your life will definitely not be quiet and will feel uneasy. And I have not received real freedom.

Everyone is free to the extent that he allows himself.
I have my habits from which I can not refuse, so I am not free

You already have freedom to chase the job you want, buy what you want and say what you think (depending on the country).
Just compare North Korea or China with US or Some European countries and see who has more freedom...
No one's forcing you to live in any way, you choose what you want and how you want to live.

I did read the other day a tweet that said something like "the entire point of having money is to get away from dickheads" that's basically my view of both having money and being free. Free to tell people you don't like to go fuck theirselves.

Our personal view of freedom is based on the utopian ideas where people are supposedly just lazying around, doing nothing and yet have still experiencing abundant lives and have all the things they need and want. Real freedom is that opportunity to work hard and pursue the things you love in the face of constraints and challenges.

For me, freedom is letting you do things without any hesitations. Being tied with your job, family, etc. but still be able to do things you want, say whats on your mind is still a freedom for me. It's just you have to do things rightfully and consider the people around. Freedom does not mean you do things just because you want to. We have to consider a lot of things and people to practise right freedom. Doing things freely is an act of freedom but as a human we still have the responsibilty and accountability on every action we will do,say and decide.
And for me, there is no absolute freedom. People always which is dependent. From parents from the state from the government from the forces of nature and many more things. This world is so constituted that there is no freedom and never will. But man is still striving to achieve the ultimate freedom.
Yes, there's real freedom. People are greedy, have desire, you can do no attachments, no worries, it is difficult to do.Freedom? No, there is no freedom.

Good question there dude. Some of us consider freedom as being free from oppression and being able to live without anyone instructing you what you can and what you can' t do. For me it's simple. Being able to live peacefully and deciding for myself would be freedom already. We' re not living anymore in the ages wherein we' re told what and what not to do. Being free is to be able to decide on your own and living with the results and consequences of your decisions. Of course we have to follow laws and rules so freedom also entails responsibility to be good citizens

Real freedom is being able to do what you want to do without hurting others. Having financial security is also freedom. Being single is also freedom. I guess there is a lot of things that have to come together to be truly free. But I think the most important one would be freedom of burden. Once you have nothing weighing on your shoulders then you will feel truly free.


I think that if on your shoulders no pressure then you died. Unfortunately man can not live without purpose. This limits the freedom of man, but gives him a reason to live. Absolute freedom is a utopia.

True freedom is not arbitrary lawlessness, not crazy consumption nor give up social responsibility with great eloquence, wonderful taste. True freedom is the self-discipline of free will, the courage to use rational courage to overcome the original desire, for their own rules, to dominate their own lives. But it's too hard for me.
