Having faith and believing in yourself completely, is freedom.
it means accepting yourself and what god gave you, saying thank you for what you do have,being true to yourself, is freedom. your in charge of your own life and you make your own choices that make you happy. that's your freedom. and as for the rest of the world, they have to feel and do the same each for themselves.

Freedom is a concept as useful in real life as 'love', and 'god'. That is to say, none at all.
It's an illusion people have createed to make themselves feel better about the fact that life is unfair, unjust, and often brutal.
A clear example of the silliness of the concept is this. I would like the freedom to live my life safely. There are people in this world who want the freedom to deny me this right.
On a more topical note, The Muslim believe they should have the Freedom to destroy Isreal, and deny that Isreal has a right to exist.
Isreal wants to freedom to live in peace, and raise their children.
Neither gets what they want, and people die.
All in the name of Freedom.
My final example of freedom as a fallacy is based right here in the good old U.S.A.We have the FREEDOM to vote for any canidate we want, but American politicans believe they have the right to be universally, and unceasingly base cads, crooks, and conmen.
Sadly enough, we both do have the freedom we think we have.
Oh, and no, everyone around the world is not free. From south east Asia, where teenage (and younger) girls are lured away from their homes, and forced into prositution, to the genocide in Dafur, anyone who even imagines that we are all free is living life with one eye closed, and the other eye covered by a blindfold.

In the universal sense it means the right to choose my thoughts. In that sense everybody is free.
In a concrete sense it means to be able speak and do what I want without hurting others. In that sense everybody in the world is not free.
But the most important freedom is the freedom of choice and here we are free again: there is always a choice.

If I had complete freedom, I would be able to do anything I wanted without negative consequences.
There are two big things that limit my freedom. Laws of the government and laws of the universe. I believe that laws of the government should strive to give as much freedom as possible and still have a safe, peaceful society.

freedom is the ability to live life without restraint and without conforming to standards of society...true freedom is foreign to this world...we will always have people telling us what to do and how we should act...so i dare say that very few people in this world are truly free

freedom is having the ability to make your own choices, the consequences of these choices must be accepted as well.
no, most people do not know how to be free.
