WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE FREE
Image source
I want to write briefly on what freedom is and what living free entails, I will be writing from a personal perspective.
According to online dictionary, >freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants. going by this definition, some persons would think that living free, is doing whatever you want at every point in time, my perception of freedom is totally different. I believe in freedom with responsibility.
Living free entails living without constraint in choice or action, being free from slavery or restraint or from the power of another. Everybody wants to live free but in one way or the other, people enslave themselves to material things.
One can be without restraint or constraint but deep down within him, he/she is not free, some persons have enslaved themselves to either alcoholism, womanizing, cultism, avarice, to mention only a few.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau once said that "man is born free, but he is everywhere in chain". Looking at the statement on a surface level, you might think that it does not make sense to make such an assertion, but in actuality there is no absolute freedom. To live free, you ought to be responsible.

I love that statement "man is born free but is everywhere in chains" people has been enslaved directly or indirectly even without them knowing it.. Thanks for sharing Bro @hilltop
Thanks for sharing the same view with me. Man needs to live free.
Yes your right there's no absolute freedom anywhere; nice article.
Thanks for agreeing elwith me.
Great write up,
I actually have thought about freedom before, because the more we think we are free, the more we are not
Just like thinking you are free to drink beer, or smoke, in the long run you get addicted to it, what you can't control, you are enslaved to , you can't stop doing it, it doesn't necessarily have to a bad habit, one can be addicted to cleanliness, so are we really free?
Perfecto!
Nice artical
Thanks for reading.
