What does freedom mean to you?

Question

To me, true freedom is being able to live in a world free of judgement. Why is it so hard for other people to accept others for who they are? Why do some people feel it necessary to force their thoughts, ideas, and ways of living on others? No one is superior to anyone else and our differences is what makes the world an interesting place. Do you think the world will ever see a society of true equality? Or am I just too idealistic and we will always have a world full of hate and evil?

Answer 1

You're not talking about freedom you're talking about social justice and ideals.
Freedom is to have the RIGHT to voice your ideas and ideals.
Even the KKK has a RIGHT to voice their crap.
That's freedom.
You don't have to agree with it or even like it.
The problem comes when ideas and ideals are put into action.
Then conflict occurs.

Answer 2

Right, so by what you're saying, then nobody should be judged. Putting aside that you are judging those who choose to judge others and not accepting them for who they are, you are overlooking some obvious people whom you might want to and probably do judge. Serial killers, rapists, terrorists, vandals, etc. Or do you suggest that we accept them for who they are and allow them to be it?

Everything has it's limits, everything it's boundaries, because if not, then it will intrude onto something else. So boundaries are made, good or ill, to contain this intrusion.

Answer 3

Most people wrongly think that freedom is becoming completely independent. That is not possible, even a simple red light orders us to stop. Real freedom means declaring our dependency on God, period.

True freedom is equal opportunity regardless of race, class, gender or sexual orientation.
