Freedom is a lack of restriction in comparison to another state of being or system in that vector. Freedom in one vector of being is equal to no restriction in that vector.
I find that freedom is usually used to define a counter to the superstition of the result of systematic, social and political worlds - "rules" basically. In reality, we are all free; there are no chains, there are no rules. Sometimes freedoms will conflict, however, but that's freedom for you! Our bodies and minds are all that truly restrict our own freedom.

Quote by: Alive About that "feeding yourself" part. What do you eat? Live entirely off the land? Do you hunt or just eat wild plants? And you know which ones are edible, do you? Get 3 full meals a day? |
Yes. It's not that hard. People just tend to be used to their learned ways of living and forget about where it all came from. Of course, with so many people and governments around, non-privatized plant and animal populations are rather restricted so...yeah, that makes it more difficult to live freely unless you see through them and take it anyhows. That's why we drive a loooong ways away where no one is there with a big hand or a watchful eye. One large animal feeds you for a long time. Plants are very easy to come by, you just pick them. You can boil them if your afraid of bugs, bacteria etc.
Camping and food is a great combo too. It just tastes so much better cooked over a fire and in the untainted by technology environment.
If you're knowledgeable enough you can eventually identify which substances offer what in terms of effects. Some plants offer protection against infection when ground up and applied to a wound for example. I know of one here in Alberta and it's common enough to find a bunch of it in the yard where I currently work.
But that was off-topic. :eek:
