Great points, @roselover. Yes, freedom is vitally important. It is not easy, though. We live in a world where others will try to control us. However, if we remain free in our minds, no matter what we can thrive.

I think of Frederick Douglass who was a slave in America. He made sure that he always saw himself as a free man, even with chains on his body and beatings regularly. He eventually was able to become free and lived to share great thoughts with the world.

Thank you for your great insights. Always good to hear your posts. Upvoted!
