Is Freedom Ever Really Reached in this life time!?!?!?

Question

Thank You!

Answer 1

Maybe so in the last few moments before we pass on, if we accept our death, maybe, then we will be free.

Answer 2

Anyone has at least some small amount of freedom. If you're referring to the maximum amount of freedom that individuals can have (excluding the freedom to deprive others of their property, well-being, or equal rights), then I would say probably not.

I am a minarchist. Minarchy is a philosophy or political system which advocates that governments and other restrictions on our freedoms should be absolutely minimal. It differs from anarchy in that minarchy does recognize the need for some small level of gov't, if only to punish those who do bad to others. I believe anarchy is workable in theory, but not in practice except perhaps in small groups of like-minded and properly educated people.

I think our freedoms will continue to decline over time, until such time as our gov't either implodes from its unsustainable fiscal practices or is radically reformed by a populace that finally grows weary enough of tyranny to overcome their passive acceptance of it and their dependence on gov't. Personally, I think the first scenario--a gov't implosion, a la the Soviet Union--is the much more likely outcome, unfortunately. This is based on my observations of human nature and the nature of our political system.

Answer 3

Freedom can only be realized when one accepts that all conditions of incarceration are only conceptual barriers that we strive to maintain in order to facilitate the orderly projection of our energies. That being said, once freedom is achieved, whether during our present state of being or another, the ensuing seemingly chaotic release of our life force will negate our ability to lead any others to this conclusion. Finding the path to this eventuality is the easy part, taking the step that can not be un-taken is the daunting undertaking that few will achieve. Good luck and God Bless.

Answer 4

In recent times, my opinion is that we've gone backward, and not forward, in the freedom department.

Wars, people locked up for petty offenses, murders and other crimes of hate...they're all up there...have we learned nothing from our past mistakes?

We don't even have freedom as far as our families go. Everything depends on the mighty dollar...people need to leave their small children to go out and earn the mighty dollar.

None of this makes any sense to me. Money should be the least of our problems. Wars and violent crime should be way down, people should be on the same page in trying to make this earth a good and safe place for all.

Answer 5

yes...because freedom is the ability to do good. here's an example to explain. when u turn 16 ur parents dont give u the car keys and say u can either crash it or drive well. no they say heres the keys so u can drive well. same thing, in this life we are given free will not so we can either sin or do good, but so that we can do good.

if that makes any sense.

Answer 6

A agree with the other answer I think we need a definition of freedom.

There are moments when I have felt free of all responsibility. But they don't last very long.

Answer 7

True freedom only comes after death.

Answer 8

it depends on ur definition of freedom

Answer 9

Maybe if you buy your own island, like Richard Branson....

Answer 10

no we will never truly be free, but then again if we were truly free we would end up destroying everything and everyone.
