What Is Freedom | We all Have Our Own Definition

What is your definition of freedom? When I am finding ways to smile everyday that feels like freedom to me.

I can think of several……

1. Trust

2. Value

3. Growth

4. Simplicity

In the Online Philosophy club they define it like this:

In the philosophy of politics, the idea of freedom comes up often. Most people say they support most types of freedom. Of course, the word freedom has little meaning if we do not have a common definition. In this article, I will explain my definition of freedom.

Freedom starts with a principle of self-control, also known as self-ownership. In a free society, each and every person has legal control (or “ownership”) of their own body and mind. As such, the concept of freedom refers to a certain type of political empowerment. It refers specifically to equal empowerment. In other words, a free society is one with an equal distribution of legal rights and in which each and every person has as much legal rights as possible.

5. Transformation

6. Fun

7. Calm

8. Doing what you want

9. Ability to choose

10. Living life your way.

How Do You Define Freedom

Is it based on doing what you want when you want. We all categorize life in many ways. Freedom at work to express ourselves and create our own. Or in life, when we can choose to live the way that makes us happy.

When I am finding ways to smile everyday that feels like freedom to me. Go and make your life happy and the freedom will grow around you.
