Quote by: Praxius  If you want to know what freedom truly feels like.... go out into the forest, camp and live there for a week with not having to worry about bills, collectors, a job, a government getting your taxes, bosses telling you what to do..... live out there as humans once did and feel what freedom once was..... not having to worry about all the useless stuff in the world, except feeding yourself, making a shelter and just living as you see fit.
This is the root of all freedom, which most animals and plants in the world live everyday...... The only danger to freedom is ourselves. |
Hear hear!
To add just a bit more than that, I would note that "freedom" generally implies freedom
from something, and what that something is depends on the type of freedom one is discussing. When talking about various societies, it seems people talk about freedom from oppression or coercion. While that sort of freedom is just dandy, it should be recognized that this sort of freedom is something that one has very little control over. Perhaps more important is the freedom from fear, something a bit more manageable at the personal level and can eventually win freedom from oppression at the societal level with enough "free spirits" behind it.
