Is FREEDOM truly FREE?

Looking at the meaning of freedom I must agree it is a very inviting word, and in my opinion every effort man has put in Christianity, politics, marriage and life in general is to earn this very inviting word freedom... A freedom that is not truly free.

It means power or right to act speak or think as one wants, the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved, freedom generally  from further study is having the ability to act or change without constraint.

Furthermore something is free if it can change easily and is not constrained in its present state if a person has freedom to do things that will not in theory or in practice be prevented by other forces.

From my study I found out a few examples of freedom

 1. An absence of necessity 

2. liberation from slavery or restrain 

3. freedom of association

4.  freedom of belief 

5. freedom of speech

6.  freedom to express

7.  freedom of the press

8.  freedom to choose one state in life 

9. freedom of religion

10.  freedom from bondage and slavery. 

But is freedom truly free? 

Well freedom is an illusion or it is relative to an illusion, wherever you live in the world the freedom people have is dictated by their controllers whether that is government, god or a dictatorship even in daily life there are others who control what people do say and where they can go.

With much thinking I feel there is no true freedom because every freedom known in the life of Man, the existence of the world has always been on merit, has always been earned either with blood or strive, in terms of the government one has to obey laws to be truly free, in religion one has to obey laws to be truly free, even in our daily lives in families, churches, mosques, shrines every individual that belongs to an association needs to earn his freedom.

Imagine a world with true freedom

People could kill, cheat, and have no consequences, yes we have freedom to act but do we have the freedom to determine the consequences of our actions? If we say we are free why do we pay for being free?

If the answer is NO then are we truly free??
