a very broad idea, yet very complicated to define..as quoted by one of the philosopher in medieval times, Saint Thomas Aquinas definition of freedom is that "freedom for him is doing what we ought to do". it happened that this idea is one of the guiding principle that i follow in my life. not to set my self free from the law that abide us all but to set the standard that i myself should do, not to complicate myself to the law that abides us all. would you believe that this is one reason how to managed to control all the imperfection of us people? think on it and reflect.. not what " I want to do" but "what I ought to do". Doing Good and avoiding Evil..

Freedom is doing the things that we always want to do without any hindrances or objection from other people.We should always think of what we are doing if it is good or bad.Not all things can be done without even thinking.We should always do good and always avoid evil.Think before we act or say anything.Not because we are free to do things,we will not think of what we are doing.
