The cost is everyone giving up personal power and exchanging it for effort towards the greater good of the whole!
That is when we find freedom within and globally!

One cost is safety. After 9-11, people gave up their freedom to carry box cutters on airplanes in order to feel safer from terrorists. Most societies gave up the freedom to kill each other in order to feel safer from getting killed. Rich people move into gated communities to be safer from crime, but give up more freedom since there are so many extra rules they need to follow to live there. Really rural areas can be dangerous since it takes authorities much longer to reach you, but you have more freedom to do what you want since there are fewer people that can complain. True freedom would mean zero safety.

True freedom is priceless. That is how it is ironic: we have decade-long wars all over the world that pay thousands and even millions of lives and millions of dollars for something that should be an inalienable right to everyone.

What kind of freedom?
Freedom from Insanity
Freedom of speech
Freedom of war
Freedom of ill health
Freedom of people
Freedom of Animals
Freedom from yourself
it goes on and on and on and on and on.
There is as you can see a lot of different things in the world we may like to be free of.
To be free from all of them is surely freedom of spirit.

well in order for us in the USA to even use this yahoo answer is freedom, and I have lost many uncles and great uncles that I never meet because they died in World War 2 and Korea and Vietnam, and unfortunately they did die , but fortunately they died to keep us and every one else FREE...
this is the ultimate cost of freedom, always has been from the beginning of time, and most likely will be forever..sad but true.
no war is good, but it has to be done to either free a whole nations people from ternary or to keep the free nations free
so
GOD BLESS
and good luck
