What is the meaning of freedom for you?

Hi deepak! Just like you have said, freedom is when I can express my feelings, thoughts and emotions completely. Freedom is when I can feel my spirits soar high without being pulled down by other people's convictions and principles. When I was young, I am very carefree. I follow my own dreams and I enjoy life so much. But as I got older, the pain and sufferings, the problems and arguments have clipped my wings somehow. I fly not to my heart's content but to the dictates of family and society. For so long, I have live not my life but the lives of others. I have wanted peace in my life but in order to have that I traded off my wings. I became just a follower and forgot that I have my own life to live. My husband says that I have to be my own person and that he missed the sparks in my eyes. And now that I am at this point in my life, I am somehow getting my strength back in my wings again. Soon I will fly and follow again my heart and my dream. Somehow, I know I will. Take Care and God Bless! Celebrate Life!

Deepak I can speak for myself only and I agree it might differ from person to person. To me freedom means to live life according to my wish without harming others in the least. Freedom is not just wearing the clothes I want to or going to a movie when I want. But it means that I am free to speak my mind when I feel its required to speak it. Thanks.

I would like to quote Kay Seamayer's definition of Freedom, since this is also how I perceive it! Freedom …in which to raise our families…in which to speak… in which to move about as we please… in which to pray and attend the church of our choice…to be educated…to start a business with little more than a dream, an idea, determination and grit…to choose a lifestyle that makes us happy…to choose our friends…to work as we see fit…to play as we wish…to live our dreams…to choose our own passions…and to be whomever or whatever we wish!! And gladly,I am living the same way, No one is controlling nor dictating me what to do and what to eat, what to pay attention and what to wear. I have all the freedom in our house and outside which makes me feel good. I can't imagine how hard for the people to sacrifice especially those who are being slave!

For me freedom means to be able to step outside and have a smoke at my leisure. To shower when the need arises instead of when I'm told to. To go into my kitchen and eat what I want when I want. I can go outside and walk away from my residence to go where I want and come home when I feel like it. I love being able to read and write what I want, watch whatever movies or tv shows, listen to whatever kind of music, read whatever kind of books. And last but not least, I can worship at any church of my choice, or worship at home, in the street, in my car, or not at all, if that's my choice. Bottom line is freedom to me is choice. Making choices on my own. My time is mine. I get to choose how it's distributed. That's freedom.

for me freedom is something where there is absolutely no clash for my feelings , no clash for my work and no clash for my dreams to come true....and i know its quiet impossible to achieve that!!

For me freedom is the independence to make mistakes and the ability to never repeat the same mistakes again.

Freedom for me is being free from any problems in life, free from money , debts, bills, heartbreak, pity, liars,guilt, hatered, and loads more. Me as of now I am tied to my family I need to work and earn money to feed and raise my family. I have no freedom to go anywhere with my friends it's sad but it's my life and I guess I should accept it as it is. My family is my life even if my freedom is bounded atleast I have people i love with me.

Freedom is different for everyone, depending on their core beliefs. There was recently a commercial running on television that sang, "I am free to do what I want any old time." It was catchy, but I sang it just a little different than the original. I sang, "I am free to do what God wants any old time." For me, that is closer to my idea of freedom. In America, some sins have become legal. In my opinion, that is way too much freedom. Even though one has freedom, there needs to be limits that this person will set for themselves.

Freedom to me is to do what I want anywhere anytime in my day to day life without anyone and anything bothering me. It means I am free from any sort of restrictions from anyone and anything, both living and unknown. Of course, here I do not mean committing crimes and other unwholesome acts.

for me , freedom means no body disturbe me , i can do everything i want to !it is freedom!

to me freedom means that perform ur all day to day activities with in the limits of law, culture,socity and socity, and dont distrut or effect the right of living of other person or fellow. once i was reading some where that my freedon ends from where nose of other person starts

Everyone want freedom and everyone have a different opoinion of it. The freedom in my mind is I can do the things that I think it's true and good for us and no one can prevent me.I also think the mind freedom is very important so I also think that we can express ourselves freedom.

freedom for me means I can do anything I want,nobody can ever stop me from doing what I want.

i think freedom for me is when nobody puts any restriction on me. am free to take my decisions in life. am like a free bird and can enjoy my life in my own way but in the limit of course.

living according to love my love without losing my identity

em]thumbup[/em]I agree totally with you freedom is being able to freely express my feelings and emotions. Freedom to me is also being able to make my own decisions in life. I also feel I am lucky living in Australia having a democracy where we have the freedom to choose the right government to govern our country. Freedom gives you happiness. I feel sorry for some people in this world who don't have this same freedom, where they feel scared to voice their own opionions and feelings. I wish these people had the same freedom I do.

For ME Freedom IS The Work I Do On My Independent Way With Any Restrictions IN Life

freedom in my view means to be free from every other irrelavent topics and to be free but not forgetting the circle around you
