Question

This is not a stupid question.. I am doing some writing and i would like to know how YOU feel.. thanx alot :-)

Answer 1

The first and obvious answer is that bondage is freedom's challenge.

The problem with America is that many people feel they are free but they are in fact bound. They are bound because of poor education; incorrect information; knee-jerk, mass-hysteria, emotional responses to things that require, instead, an intellectual response. Many Americans have consented to their own slavery unbeknownst to them. They feel free--free to eat where they want, free to say what they want, free to buy what they want--and so they think they are free. They don't realize that their thoughts have been co-opted by meaningless propaganda, and that the people in charge who are passing the propaganda are laughing hysterically at everyone's naivete, susceptibility, and idiocy.

Freedom's challenge is very simple: misinformation and under-education. We here in America value being blindly patriotic and stupid. In fact, we love the stupid people and hate the intelligent people. We have all sorts of names for those who think: elitists, liberals, communists.

But people feel that if their own ridiculous needs and wants are fulfilled--a belly full of McDonald's, an HDTV in the living room, a few iPods, a Mustang convertible, and lots of online porn--they assume that they are enjoying liberty. What they are enjoying is imprisonment. And hatred. Because anyone who isn't doing the same thing--sloppily satisfying their own wanton desires--that person is considered to be the enemy.

Last, the most important challenge to freedom is "free thought" that denies the existence of God. A lot of "free thinkers" believe that God is a joke. This is perhaps the most horrible human bondage there is: to believe that the human being is the pinnacle of all the universe. Look around at the depraved, ignorant, slovenly human being, and if you see that this is the pinnacle of existence, you cannot help but also see that we are all severely screwed. No, faith in God is neither ignorance nor bondage; it is enlightenment and liberation.

Answer 2

In simple form, the most serious challenge to freedom is tyranny. Tyranny can be found in many forms and the history of the planet proves this out. It does not matter whether it is religious tyranny which stifles free thought, or governmental tyrannies that not only stifle free thinking, but also freedom of movement and freedom of action.

Tyranny is the absolute enemy of freedom of all kinds and is the greatest crime there is - in actuality, the only evil there is. Consider this, no crime can exist but that tyranny is at its root - murderers tyrannizing their victims, same with rapists; arsonist and thieves tyrannizing over the property of others. Every crime has its root in tyranny, and that is all the evidence necessary to understand that tyranny is the opppsite of any and all freedom.

Answer 3

The way to be free is different for everyone.
But it starts with these
1.Know that you are not fre
2.Care that you are not free
3.Work to become free(where most people get stuck)
4.Learn to change the way you see
5.Do whatever it is you are made to do
6.Realize that you have always been free, but you would never have known what to do with it if not for 1-4

Answer 4

it's an ideal and concept that really doesn't exist. Think about that and you will have an interesting argument. If you look at all the arguments you will truly see that freedom's biggest limitation is in the individual/society.
