A question to you.

How do you define freedom?

Is it the ability to do or say as you please?

Is it whether or not you can travel without restriction?

Own a weapon?

Pick your own profession?

Live where you want?

Buy the car you want?

Have a relationship with whomever you are interested in?

Read whatever you like, no matter who it might offend?

Inspire others without fear of retribution?

Write openly?

Care?

Sure, it's at least all these things, and yet so much more at the same time. The truth about freedom is you really can't define it, at least I know I can't.

The only way to truly grasp the edges of what freedom means is by understanding how it can be taken away from you. Because, whether you like it or not, freedom is not guaranteed.

So what do you do to ensure your own freedom?
