🕊️ What does the concept of "Freedom" mean to you personally?

Freedom means the act of not being indebted to or an act of being free from any form of external control. The direct opposite of freedom is slavery.

So when your rights are been controlled by others, we can say you are not free. To be free means you have a certain right and you can exercise them at any given time.

So therefore freedom to me means not being a slave to anyone and having a say in your life and making your own decisions. Once you are controlled by anyone, it means you are not free.

🕊️ Is Freedom a fundamental human right?

Yes, freedom is a fundamental human right in every country. As a citizen of any country, you have this right and you will exercise it in your jurisdiction.

It is important that everyone who is free-born that is anyone who is not bought or sold as a slave exercise this right. So to me, freedom is a fundamental human right and it should be always observed at all times.

Rights like the freedom to speak, freedom to eat, freedom to worship, etc are some basic fundamental human rights that must be observed.

🕊️ Do you believe that your country is enjoying freedom or is it influenced by external Factors?

My country is not enjoying this freedom because the political factor is deeply affecting it. We have seen in our elections where this freedom was taken away from the people.

Freedom to vote and to be voted for is one of the main freedoms that is taken away from the masses here in this country. People will be told who they must vote for if they want peace which is not a good act if you ask me.

🕊️ If your nation enjoys freedom today, (IF not) what is the inspiring story (external factors) behind its success (Defeat)?

My country is not enjoying freedom because there are lots of political factors that are affecting the freedom of the masses. At the moment, if you go vote for any election, you will be told to vote for their candidate and if you don't do that, you may be killed.

So with this happening, people are scared of exercising their right and they just do what those who are in authority want. This has become a serious issue for us all in this country and I wish people were allowed to exercise their rights.

I want to invite @saintkelvin17, @xkool24, and @josepha to join the contest also.
