RE: Is Freedom What We Think it is?
Great read! Freedom is my favorite idea. When I think freedom, I think of choices. Not just choices to run away but choices to engage. Freedom to walk away but also freedom to enslave ourselves. It is very tricky to imagine what true freedom is. I am pretty sure that where ever someone lives they have laws restricting something, so you are free to still do it, but you will get into trouble.
It's a strange word really isn't it? It can allow you to choose the opposite of what it means. That saying: "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink" gives an idea of the true might of our freedom. You can have a gun pointed at your head, but you still have the ability to make a choice. They might not be desirable choices, but they are there and no one can take that from you.
