To be free is to not be subject to the control or domination of another.
Sounds good, doesn’t it.
----more----
We all seek freedom.
It’s why we don’t like bullies, who seek to dominate us through aggression.
And it’s why we seek out ways to control our own destiny.
But in order to be free, you have to have a free mind.
If you don’t think for yourself, you aren’t free, even if your body is.
Without freedom of thought, there can be no freedom of action.
