Free from that punk *** voice in your mind called fear and doubt. You kill those demons and you are free even if you are shackled and in a dungeon somewhere.

The way I see it, a person's freedom is not a black and white state - i.e. either free or not free, but rather a more gradually changing value - in it's lower extreme you are so enslaved by million of chains that you cannot even think independently, while in it's utmost height you are completely and absolutely free of any negative personal consequences both when thinking and deciding and when executing any of your decisions.
Usualy a person is somewhere in between and his overal freedom is superposition of thousands of small prohibitions and /or freedoms.

Freedom is liberation from shackles, bond-ages, control and the ruling power. It is used in a wide-ranging contexts. Notice, for example, the following:
Freedom of a nation
Freedom of enterprise
Freedom of speech
Freedom of thought and occupation
Freedom of religion
Freedom from slavery, disease, squalor
And so on.
However, freedom cannot be a license and it has always to be within known limits imposed by culture, etiquette, welfarism, and mutual respect.

Freedom to read what you want, view what you want without Big Brother looking over your shoulder. It's got nothing to do with whether you've done anything worth monitoring. It's about the monitoring, and the people that don't care about it.
Freedom to say what you want, as long as you're not being unjustifiably up in someone's face or space. It's ok for a religious person to "witness," as long as they're not harrassing you, using slurs like "fornicator," "whore," or "baby killer." There's expressing your opinion and then there's harassment. There is a line.
Freedom to indulge in a substance as long as you're not out driving or posing a safety threat to those around you, without risking imprisonment.
Freedom means being able to say you disagree with certain politics, without being labeled "traitor" and "unAmerican."
Freedom to pursure your particular "happiness," as long as it doesn't impinge upon the freedoms of others.

Freedom is the right to choose something or to not choose something without coercion. Regardless of what that something is. Laws are created to resrict that freedom in order to prevent yourself from talking only your own self intrest into account, which inevitable will happen.

FREEDOM's definition depends on our thinking.THERE are two ways of thinking about freedom-
CRUEL FREEDOM-
people become ready 2 do any thing without considering it good or bad.They just want to achieve freedom in any way.
And to soe people freedom is like feeling nice.They can do anything they want to do.But if you want to know the importance of freedom then ask an Indain.He'll tell u wat is freedom.Indians know it because they hav been under ENGLAND's rule for 200 years.

Free to live our lives as we wish without imposing our beliefs on anyone else because they deserve the same freedom.
