free is a word that is used too loosely. love is free? Then how come you get mad when your loved one doesn't do what you want? Your love comes with a price? Your food is free? I bet someone had to pay for it, if it was not you then the grocer if not the grocer then the farmer who paid for the seed and the labour etc. Your country is free? How many soldiers lives were taken to make it free?

Being free remains such only when it is combined with responsibility and achievement throught it. Ultimately,i think being free means to be able to make my own decisions without them being violated and yet at the same time being able to compromise in times when needed.

yes it is worth a lot to me and yes i have it I live in a great country where i am free to say what I feel to live how i wish and even to worship in my own way without anyone dictating to me !what more could anyone want This is the USA and i wouldnt want to live anywhere else!

Free means no strings attached for its usage & availment.

What an excellent discussion question. To me, the word free has SO many different meanings. Often, none of them come without a price though. Is anything truely for free? I don't think so. I wish I could be free in the sense that I could go off and travel and live life without the everyday responsibilities and stressers, but that will never happen!LOL!

Free meaning nothing to do,also free for me means independent,to do what I want do,when I want. Really very few of us are free mean few of us have a time. We are constrained by outside influences our whole lives,people who fight for their freedom are often labelled as anarchists by those who prefer to conform. A free person might be seen by others as a savage or a recluse. I am not sure anyone in the world is truly free, cause of we still have a duty and resposibility what we have done here.

Freedom is worth something and special to those who understands what it mean. Our forefathers fought for it and some others strive for it. Its worth varies to ever person. I want it and I have it. How about you?

The word free has alote of meanings. but i think that the more important thing, is how i define it and what part does that word has an influance on my life. Free, to me, is the ability to feel that i can do anything i want, whenever i want to do it. It always begins in my head, that means that i have to feel that my world is a world i choose, and that my mind is free to imagine, invent and plan a way to succeed in whatever i believe in. and then it continues in my life daily doings, i will always choose to live in a place that i want and the people that i choose to surround me are always people, that can give me space and have the same deinition for the word free, like i do.

FREE to me means Friends forEvEr. I value my friends, and hope we remain friends forever, generation after generation. It may be a dream, but FREE is definitely a blessing to have and worth keeping no matter what. It is worthless and valuable, free from constraints, free from obligations and full freedom to love unconditionally.
