Answer 2

Freedom is having the ABILITY to chose an option or options among all the posible options presented to you as you live your life.

Problem is most people think it is a " total green light" or an "unbound ticket" to do whatever they want when it is NOT, since we ALL live and share the same planet. And as a consequence ALL the actions we take in life WILL affect someone else positively OR negatively.

An action that may be good for you perhaps could hurt someone else really bad, so in that case you do NOT have the right to carry that action, even though you may be able to just do it.

And THAT is what determines what you should or should NOT do in a given situation.

Freedom ALSO go hand in hand with RESPONSABILITY and MORAL JUDGEMENT, the minute those 2 things are NOT coupled with Freedom the action or actions taken will (most problably) will be incorrect.

As a result that means that Freedom also goes hand in hand with Education, which will frame what behaviours are Moral and Inmoral, and all that those 2 words really mean is that behaviours that are good for humanity and individuals, that are for example: in balance with Nature, that is for the good of humanity, for the many and the self is correct as learned by thousands of years of humanity (Moral Behaviour); and behaviours that will get you and/or more people in trouble, that will do harm to you, that breaks families, that messes up children, that will screw your life, etc then is Inmoral Behaviour.

That's all, it is not about religion or anything like that, it is the practical learned experience of hummanity that unfortunately every few generations is forgotten and has to be learned all over again, as societies get screwed up again and again and again...

We humans are really stupid and DO NOT learn from past mistakes for the most part.

There is NO Total Freedom! But there is Always Responsability for your actions!

And that is what Freedom means (or should) in everyones everyday life.

Answer 3

Freedom is knowledge. Knowledge of the Truth. With knowledge you have choices. That is freedom. Only love leads to true knowledge. Freedom is life. Life without freedom is not worth living.

Answer 6

Freedom is exercising one's fundamental rights without violating or undermining the freedom of others to do so!

Answer 7

Freedom binds you to behave well, it calls for discipline, it asks you TO RESPECT OTHERS VALUE. it prohibits you to act like a unsound full person,
Freedom is only till -when you know your limit and are in your limits.
total freedom indicates total harmony of an individual to community, and up to a country.

So to enjoy freedom we should learn how to be good.

Answer 8

The right of doing anything , without listening to others whether it is good or bad is called freedom.

Answer 9

Freedom is the ability to make stupid decisions as long it does not interfere with anyone else. Freedom is basically the right to do anything as long as it does not trespass on anyone else. The question is then, is there anything that you can do that will not affect someone else? If there is then there is Freedom.

Freedom I think is self-rule and independence. A person has freedom when he is allowed to do what he wants to do and perform any task which he wants to perform.
