What is most intriguing, for me, is what Freedom means to other people. The idea of Freedom is different for every single one of us, and to me, that is the most fascinating aspect about Freedom.


Perhaps many of you will see Freedom as it truly is:

"Freedom (to me) means exactly that; Freedom.
To live without barriers, to do what you want when you simply feel it's necessary.
Freedom is also standing up for what you believe." ~ ~ScotlandForLife

"Freedom to me is being able to move about and talk freely. Freedom is getting on a Motorcycle and riding all day without a destination. Freedom is hiking to the top of a mountain and looking out over the earth. Freedom is screaming as loud as you can until whatever emotion you wish to express is dissipated unto the wind. Freedom is being able to love with abandon, totally, fully, completely. Freedom is letting the music take you and dancing, not giving a shit what people think about your 'style'." ~ *Bahama-dreams



"Freedom is to be able to express yourself without boundaries. I think freedom is based around boundaries; they aren't present when freedom is." ~ ~AGBBibag

"Freedom is like the wind. You can go anywhere on a whim. Live your life the way that you want to. When you go with the wind you are free." ~ ~Extroth

"Freedom means being able to live your life." ~ ~EternalFreedom




Perhaps Freedom connects with choices and paths:

"Freedom means being able to make choices" ~ ~crystalkaba

"Freedom is to have all the options and choosing the right one, going the right way." ~ ~ALkazem

"Freedom is about being able to do what you feel you want to or have to for some reason.
It's the knowledge that you can make such a choice." ~ ~Kiptracx

"The freedom in the idea of 'the sky is the limit' and the freedom of youth!" ~ ~01demai




Perhaps Freedom is more personal:

"Freedom means not being afraid to tell the truth.
Doing whatever you like (despite society requirements) in the sense that, doing what society requires you to do means having to lie to the society that you enjoy doing those things, so for me just having the opportunity to not lie means freedom." ~ *Shadehunter666

"I think freedom is being able to express yourself and living without fear" ~ ~a-tin-sheep

"Freedom is being completely confident in who and what you are, and being free in your expression of that. Freedom to me is never submitting, never giving up and knowing how important it is. Freedom is being able to speak out for what you believe in without fear of the consequences and having such conviction, you don't care of the consequences, no matter what they are. It's being able to be abused and beaten but never giving up." ~ ~PrettyThings9

"…being free to be who you are. Having the ability to be yourself without anyone trying to conform you or make you feel that you are wrong somehow for wanting to be unique or different." ~ ~ProfessorPhenom




Or perhaps Freedom is more deeper and more serious:

"I would die to preserve it." ~ *Silvaz

"Dreams mean freedom to me." ~ ~kkeman

"Freedom of Expression:
To be understood through various media of art and interact with every soul within the intrigue of art." ~ =Metallophilic

"Freedom is like...your own personal bubble. What ever you do inside, is all you. You could do anything. You could be anything. The freedom to be in your own world.
We either live in the real world or we don't. That...is our freedom." ~ ~SIXCOOKIES



"I think freedom is the ability to find a sanctuary somewhere in a harsh world, no matter the physical, mental or social restraints. Finding a way to escape your own reality." ~ ~purple-rain-zombie23

"A person isnt free as long as they have to rely on others, a person is not born free,
Freedom is truly attained from hard work, ability and independence" ~ *Findiboy

"Only those who have been in captivity by a physical or mental definition know what freedom is. The only ones who know how to enjoy it are those who escape." ~ ~Levito




So I want to ask, what does Freedom mean to you?


Do we have Freedom?

Do we have the right to Freedom?

Does Freedom even exist?


What do you think?
