In my opinion, freedom is variable, depending on your physical location (different laws in different nations), your relationships, your duties and responsibilities such as work. With some things you are absolutely free by every sense of
the definition, and with other things you're not and one knows it. The larger question is whether the unfair system this world operates on actually rids you of
all and/or
any freedom in your life, the answer - in most cases - is probably no. Because that would suggest that dreams never (or don't) come true, when we know they do, but just aren't as easily fulfilled and that is our problem, we know its not easy and we often want the easy way. The way I see it actually is you get opportunities and are constantly offered certain choices in life, sort of as a test, and although your choices are limited and even the freedom is limited, you still ultimately get to make that final choice, and if the majority of your choices were good then it will reflect later in life, same as the bad, your happiness factor being the key here, that's what we want from freedom; to be lead through freedom to a life of happiness. Though this issue is such a riddle because everyone has a different opinion and life has treated everyone differently, so, thats why I say its variable, it depends mainly on the conditions people have been subjected to; willingly or unwillingly, in life.
