freedom is completely an illusion, we are slaves to our beliefs, there is a sayin u r what u eat is actually a misquote that really states "man is what he believes" we r also guided by our own social expectations becomming intitutionalized from a young age in kindergarten, also we r shackled by the inevitable great equalizer death who noone is free from, unless of course u accept Jesus as your savior, but to exist there are always specific conditions and terms that must be met & followed

Freedom is not a wonder unto it's self. We have some freedoms in America that do no one any good. For example, the freedom from over site that cattle growers and ranchers have necessarily causes some people in the Country their lives everyday.
Mad cow disease could be wiped out if every cow was required to have a Mad Cow test done be the cow is slaughtered, sold and eaten by the unaware and unprotected public.
This freedom is not free at all. It costs people there lives every year in the United States.

Most free people have no concept of true freedom.
As POW in Nam I found a freedom even though I was in a cage .If you can control your mind you can be free. I would help the insects in my cage build their homes ,share my food with my friends of the creature world. Made a friend with a rat. My mind I could control .It was the one thing they could not take away from me. I would relish the moments I would conquer my enemies with my mind.
True freedom is the freedom of the mind and soul. If you do not think so ask any Free person ,living in a free society that is confined to a wheelchair or is bed ridden. You will learn that the concept of physical freedom is not true freedom.

Perhaps, ask your self what is slavery and define freedom as the opposite. Without freedom life has less meaning. But I disagree with your life has no meaning statement. Because, you can never be completely free without impinging on the freedom of others. For instance, you are not free to hit a person you are angry with. You are not free to drive at what ever speed you like. Yet, I assume, your life still has some meaning.

Life has no meaning with or without freedom. If all humans were enslaved or none, life would still be the same. Just recycling free enrgy on the surface of the earth.
There have been at least 5 major die-offs on Earth with one (250 million years ago) killing 95% of all living things. What if another happened next week? Would human life have had some meaning? Nope.

Freedom is the state of being FREE.
It is identified by being able to do what you want to do.
Also it is identified when nobody is controlling you. And when you are free to decide which is best for you.
While if you are to ask me about the freedom of a country, it depends on having a sovereign and if no other country is colonizing that country. Hope you understand.

IT IS MY STRONG BELIEF THAT WE ARE NOT JUST THE RESULT OF BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES OF OUR PARENTS. WE CAME TO THIS WORLD OF OUR OWN DESIRE TO ACHIEVE SOME GOALS. FREEDOM FROM TIME, MIND, DESIRE WILL MAKE US VEGETABLE BODIES - PERSONS IN COMA ARE THE TYPE OF ONES YOU DESCRIBE. FREEDOM FROM ANY DESIRE EVAPORATES THE MOMENT WE ACHIEVE IT AND THEREFORE NEITHER THE DESIRE, NOR THE SOCIETY ARE PERMANENT FIXTURES OF OUR LIFE. FREEDOM FROM ALL THOSE THINGS YOU DESCRIBE ITSELF IS A DESIRE AND THEREFORE YOU ARE NOT FREE. IT IS BETTER TO EVALUATE THE PURPOSE OF LIFE AND ACHIEVE THE GOALS - I KNOW THIS IS VERY COMPLEX BUT IF YOU ARE HONEST WITH YOUR QUERY, YOU WILL CERTAINLY ACHIEVE IT.
