What is it for you that truly defines being FREE... and why?
Is Freedom just a state of mind, or is it truly having the ability to......
Being free is requiring no externals in order to BE and to be free. Why? Isn't that self-evident?
When I think of freedom, I think of being in a position where I am free to think and do as I please at ANY given moment. When I say do, I mean do things within the limitations of this existence. I am not looking for the freedom of omniscience. A life free from religious dogma, taxes, and all these "codes" and standards for everything would be sufficient. Basically, If I lived back in time before countries existed, I would be content. Just my two cents worth.
Good question.
