RE: Some thoughts about the word "freedom"

in #life7 years ago

Dear @silviabeneforti.

Thank you for posting....appreciate the opportunity to think on these things.

After thinking on this word and that something seemed to be lacking with regard to these definitions....bleujay consulted Webster's dictionary hoping to find an elaboration of some kind in order to capture the essence of the word 'freedom'.
Many times if we will go to the synonyms and antonyms...we can find some assistance.

For 'freedom'....syn. liberty, license mean as compared to the definition......the power or condition of acting without compulsion.
antonym......slavery (the surrender of one's volition), imprisonment, restraint.

The principle that comes to mind......

Freedom demands responsibility. The greater the freedom, the greater the responsibility.

An individual must have integrity in order to have capacity for freedom.

After studying....conclusion....the definition certainly describes freedom....the abuse of it is the conundrum...perhaps what is lacking is self-governance. The use of one's own volition to restrain self so that someone else does not have to.

Enjoyed giving the concept of freedom a serious look today.

Wishing you and yours all the best. Ciao.
