Some people seem to believe that freedom has ties with society’s rules and even “Gods”. How do you know these rules aren’t a restriction? Who told us these rules? Society set rules to retain order, is order freedom? What of chaos? I believe chaos has many aspects of freedom in it too. Furthermore man interpreted “Gods” will, if “God” does exist and di pass on these “rules” wouldn’t they be polluted the very second a man had control of them? I believe many of the ideas expressed in religious literature are purely expressed by humans and their own insecurity and not a “Gods” would a God really act like a child with attachment issues and need constant worship? Would they punish humans for it being expressed between people of the same sex? I think not, these are humanities ploys and I believe these ideas of freedom express just as much entrapment. But this is merely my opinion, we are all entitled to our own.

TOTAL FREEDOM is the GOD gift from birth.
But we lost our freedom by doing some illegal activities.

But to remain free is so simple to do the right thing until our death.

I think all r free from birth.
Actually they misused their freedom in some case and other and lost their freedom.

U and I have total freedom to do anything but not misusing our freedom.
and request everybody to understand the right meaning of freedom.

For example, a person misbehaving another innocent person then there the police will arrest the first one due to misuse of freedom.
For example, Sadam Hussain lost his freedom by doing unsocial activities.

JIM,

For example, a person took bribe or offer bribe then there he misused his freedom.

Freedom is the ability to infinitely (i.e. what was, what is, and what will be eternally) experience each and every moment of existence as being all that exists which includes nothing.

Freedom is the right to choose; to create for yourself the alternatives of choice. Freedom means different things to different people. Freedom is to think for one’s self or even to think something different from what is considered the status quo. It’s a freedom of expression and a freedom to be different. In an ideal free society, you have the ability to truly be yourself and to express yourself without fear of ridicule or harm. 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 his or her own thoughts, which can never be taken away. Freedom is when you fully understand your purpose in life and that you dont destroy other people’s freedom.
all of us are responsible for our own actions. even atheists have a responsibilities though they are authentic people they still have responsibilities. Even in societies where freedom is limited, thought and emotions are untouched by these restrictions.
To me “Freedom” is when you are be able to take a deep breath, and after the deep breath you have absolute no worries. When your mind is in peace, there, you’ll be free!

First I’ll direct this at hadar,

Modern physics most certainly does not claim that “electrons never relly exists until you look at them, thus entraping them. Which makes us conclude that if a person doesnt exist and you suddenly look at him, he is entraped.”

If you stand in your kitchen and turn on the light while looking at the floor, you will never see the actual lightbulb. But you can see your shadow and the surounding light. Allowing you to logically conclude that both you and the lightbulb must exist.

Secondly, There are two types of thought process’s in the world. Philisophical and Reality. They are separate and are guided by a different set of laws logically. Can a person be free within a set guidline of the definition. Yes, in the literal sense of freedom of being. Can anyone ever be free in the philisophical sense? No, in the philisophical sese of freedom of mind.

Don’t argue apples and apply it to oranges.

To the guy with the last very rude message,
May I suggest that you learn English and try
To understand that by discussing an issue one
Can broaden your mind, so once you have
Learnt English and have mastered a molecule
Of decency then feel free to join the human race.
There are many adults there………..,,!

Hello!
Just wanna share my thoughts about freedom. Physical freedom is easy to notice since its evident and could be perceived by your senses.
But the real issue of freedom happens from within, from our thoughts and emotions.
You can easily say that you are free to do anything that you want to do especially if you are living in a democratic country. Even if you’re a prisoner, after you’ve been released from prison, you’re already free physically.
I just wanna share the real freedom that would really set us free.
The real freedom that i’ve found is the freedom that God has given to us through Jesus Christ. Through His death and resurrection, He has given us freedom from the slavery of Sin. If we will receive Him in our lives, we will experience the real freedom that we are looking for. Through him there is satisfaction and you will no longer feel the emptiness inside you because you’ve found your purpose in life because you’ve found Jesus in your life.
That is tested and proven because i have experienced it in my life.
Just wanna share this verse:
“For I know my plans for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11

God bless you guys.. =)
Find your freedom through Jesus Christ..=)

This is all very interesting, and your ideas on society as a whole have relevance. Everyone here seems to believe that the restriction of freedom either mainly or partly involves society as a whole: mainly in the example of government control.
You all have brilliant ideas, but are ideas really enough? I want to know, what are you doing about this? How are you trying to become free? do you do something everyday for yourself? Are you trying to ‘liberate the masses’ as you do so? To what end will this achieve? We are not a utopian society, conflict is in our very essense of being. How can we keep order when no one governs? Furthermore there will always be someone who seeks to have power over others, someone who wants and needs more.

Ultimately I wish to know how you think a society of equals, freedom and coexistence could be realistic?
And if it isn’t realistic, why are you trying to seek freedom? Is it for yourself alone?
