breathe in breathe out.
close your eyes.
breathe in breathe out.

feel your life. feel your connection with god.

there is no intrinsic difference between you and the universe.

freedom is real.
peace is real
love is real

i wish you all three

In old greek freedom was called "A-letheia", where "A" ment "without".
We could restart from this point: Freedom is something without something else.

Freedom according to Humans should be: Being able to do or say what you want without hurting anyone and without eliminating or limiting anyone’s right in freedom.

I agree with this , too

I believe in Kant's definition of freedom. He connects morality with freedom. To be free is to follow our own rational principles instead of just our desires : to follow our own legislation, to act on maxims that we will to be universal laws. To be free is to be moral. And by being moral I don't mean not going against the law. Being moral in Kant's philosophy is following our own law, the law we have inside our hearts.
It's very difficult following it, as many times you just want to be happy and satisfied, even if this means offending someone else or don't studying.
Sometimes you know you're doing the wrong thing, but you do it the same. Freedom is having the strenght of not doing it.

Don't you think that the meaning of freedom could be different for everyone,depending of the place you live,your childhood,your education and your own convictions?
for me ,freedom is to do what you want,where you want in every moment without hurting anybody and respect the others'freedom!

I believe that the notion of freedom depends on the culture of each. There are societies where the persons speak to each other very close without that it gene anybody while in other societies, notably western, it is an infringement on the personal freedom.

PS : I'm not english native speaker so please correct any mistake.
