Shweta I define true freedom as having being able to act and live however you please. And ultimately, I don't think we can ever have it. I think there will always be some sort of an obstacle that prevents you from having true freedom.

Evan (sampsom) | 578 comments I don't think it exists. No one is ever truly free. We always have some burden holding us back, never making us free. I believe we come close to freedom but we never truly achieve it until we are dead and free of life.

So maybe there is true freedom and that is death. But we cant tell so we don't know.

Carolina Morales (carriemorales) | 69 comments True freedom can only be achieved through absolute lack of regret and conscience. My thought.

At the very least we are bound by the needs of out body. We are forced to eat and sleep to remain alive. As babies we are forced to accept the help of our parents or guardians. We are bound by a need for stability, and probably couldn't even handle the true freedom of no intervention telling you what to do.
