- Freedom is the opportunity to own your own destiny, within the limits of reason and morality. One has the power to make their own priorities and to act upon them accordingly.
- However, freedom has to be balanced with order. When one’s freedom constricts another’s freedom it has gone too far and there will undoubtedly be consequences. Sometimes harsh consequences. Examples of this would be murder and rape, for which persecution would later ensue. Everyone has the freedom to control their own thoughts, which can never be taken away. (Unless they’re mentally imbalanced.) Even in societies where freedom is limited, thought and emotions are untouched by these restrictions.
- Freedom is the absence of existence. Through our entrapment, we exist. If we were not entrapped then we would be non existent. this is not because we wouldn’t physically exist, but because our perspective and ordering of the Universe would not exist. Through entrapments we are motivated. Motivation works the human mind. Humans are just evolved molecular processes that function through entrapments. The purpose of these molecular processes is to carry out functions that create other molecular processes, inanimate and animate. The human mind is evolved from these molecular processes, and the processes use a system in which sets certain “goals” to carry out these functions. Freedom is the accomplishing of these functions. The functions and processes are on small scale, and they build up larger functions and processes. So freedom is different for different people because there are so many functions and processes that build up larger functions and processes that not all of them can be done.
- Freedom is a mental condition-a condition of the spirit. All of us are free, if we but choose to acknowledge it. The essence of your “self” is your mind, soul, and spirit. We all are always free to change our thoughts, improve our knowledge and understanding, change our attitudes and beliefs-the inner part of each of us. We all are free in our minds. Even if we are held captive or imprisoned we are free. Although it is in our mind, we can do what we wish in there. All of life is a thought, the mind recognizes when you are physically free or not its work of instincts.
Then comes the doubt Are we free? Politically and constitutionally most democracies in the world would claim that their citizens are free. But we are free to do what. Vote and reproduce? Is that all we can claim to have achieved through our right to freedom.
