Do you really have freedom?

[Ham]

The topic might be similar to "Do you really have freedom of will.."

 

I suggest- you are only entitled to give freedom to another.  Freedom cannot be claimed or assumed, only given.  I think that the common thought in this country is that freedom is a birthright.  That we are entitled.. I deserve it..  as long as that there is another living breathing soul on this planet other than oneself, I think that this is an impossibility.

Please explain further.

How do or would you define freedom, in the context of what you're trying to communicate here.

There's freedom OF something and freedom FROM other thing(s).

Thanks.

the only freedom I have, at least at the moment- is to be able to free others from debt or obligation to me.

 

I cannot expect any other living human in this existence to reciprocate with the same offer.

Freedom of obligation, freedom of conscience.  freedom of guilt, freedom to travel freely.. freedom, in general.
