Are you free, totally free? Would you like your neighbors to exhibit a state of total freedom? No, l am not totally free, and l won't want my neighbor to be that way either. We are all shackled by rules and regulations - even the wild animals in the bush or jungle are not free to roam as they please. There is always a predator waiting to strike. I am thankful that we are not totally free . Can you think of any living thing that is totally free? Would you want to be totally free? What freedoms would you crave? Pixabay image

@LadyDuck, yes to dream is free- I wish to live on interest, the freedom I want but , it's unrealistic on my part. Only those with big savings and born with silver spoon who could live on interest not on loss.SSS pensioners here in PH almost live on Loss, pension from SSS too small .It's because their monthly contributions, small also.

@Kandae11 Indeed that is right, who knows how they will invade us. But I pray that the Lord God protect and keep us from that.

Yes thoughts can be free, but who knows what may happen with the rapid advancement of technology. In the future persons might be able to know what we are thinking.

We were born into this world as someone's child and that is a bond. So we begin our life with a bondage of love. Total freedom is never possible.

That is the reality of life. While we are alive we must face disturbances , the good and the bad.When we have no money - we will be stressed. When we have lots of money - we will stress over whether someone will try to take it from us.

There are false prophets preaching in your neighborhood? If you are sure they are false, don't listen to them. I suppose they have the freedom to preach and you have the freedom not to listen.

There is no complete freedom. We have to abide by certain rules and regulations to live in a society. That said, I think having freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press and freedom of peaceful protest are important.

Hmmm, I really don't think the human idea of freedom is the same for wild animals, they each have a roll to play in the web of life but all are free roam until they try to live with humans. Coyotes seem to have found a way to actually live among us and provide the service of ridding communities they live in from rats, mice and other vermin .... of course humans with small pets need to be aware that coyotes also eat small pets like cats and small dogs.

Where animals in the wild are concerned, it is a constant battle for survival, because they are food for some other animal, even the birds in the air can become prey, because they must nest somewhere. In some Caribbean countries mongoose were able to get rid of the snake population, but they also sneak into chicken pens and make off with the chickens.

I suppose if you were living totally on your own and self-sufficient, then you might be free but otherwise there is always someone or something you have to consider.

In my opinion, there is no freedom that is as free as possible, because our freedom has limits to the interests of others.
