Most of the people, on name of freedom, do whatever they want, whatever comes to their mind. But that is not the actual meaning of freedom. We must understand the actual meaning of the freedom, so let's explore the freedom in this post today!
What is freedom?
As per the definition, the freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants. To live the life as one wants. It’s a freedom of living, freedom of thinking, freedom of behaving, and freedom of everything that a human being wants to do and be happy but in the boundary of oneself i.e. your freedom should not be a cause of trouble for others, like playing music in loud in mid night, riding bike fast, similar kind of stuff.
It’s your freedom to play the music in loud but it’s not comes under your freedom to disturb others, right!
Your riding fast may cause an accident and it will ruin the life of others as well as yours.
The economist Adam Smith said:
if we take care of ourselves, if we hold ourselves to high standards, and we actively work not to hurt other people (because we are all citizens of the same world, as Marcus put it), then we indirectly and directly make everything better for everyone.
In a society of world, we have different types of freedom. We have freedom of association, freedom of belief, freedom of speech, freedom to express oneself, freedom of the press, freedom to choose one's state in life, freedom of talking to each other, freedom of religion, and above this all we have a freedom of choice.
But remember, all the freedom you have in your control but the consequences of the action that you take is not in your control.
Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity. Herbert Hoover
We are free human being; we have freedom to form societies, clubs, and other groups of people, and to meet with people individually, without interference by the government. We have freedom of to choose your religion, you have freedom to choose your career, and you have freedom to choose your life partner. You are a free bird. This is a biggest gift that you have a freedom to choice and no one can take it away it from you, whatever bad the situation will be.
Without freedom, there is no happiness, there is no meaningful life.
But with freedom, a very big responsibility come, that what you do with your freedom?
Doing work for someone else, having a job or loving someone has nothing to do with freedom. Freedom is NOT doing whatever the heart desires right now. Freedom is the possibility of doing whatever the heart desires right now. Freedom is the possibility of breaking free, if and when needed. Freedom is the confidence of not being chained in an unhappy state. Pursuit of freedom is to continuously ensure that one is not relenting control of life to any person or any sort of circumstances.
You are the architect of your life, so whatever happened, or happening or will happen in your life, no one will be responsible. It's you and only you are responsible, so take this responsibility seriously and start doing something good for yourself and for society.
Most of the people say that they are not enjoying their work or job. They should rethink, what enjoyment they are looking in the work or job, and which work or job will give that enjoyment to them, then once they got the true answer then start your life in that direction.
Instead of giving excuses, give efforts. Slow and steady move in the direction of freedom.

The economist Adam Smith said:
“One individual must never prefer himself so much even to any other individual, as to hurt or injure that other, in order to benefit himself… and who does not inwardly feel the truth of that great stoical maxim, that for one man to deprive another unjustly of any thing, or unjustly to promote his own advantage by the loss or disadvantage of another, is more contrary to nature, than death, than poverty, than pain, than all the misfortunes which can affect him, either in his body, or in his external circumstances.”What Marcus Aurelius’ said on the misuse of the freedom is :
"What’s bad for the hive is bad for the bee."We are a social animal and we have to stay in this society, we must not misunderstand the real meaning of freedom and should not misuse it. Think, if everyone starts misusing their freedom? Imagine how the world will be in that scenario?
if we take care of ourselves, if we hold ourselves to high standards, and we actively work not to hurt other people (because we are all citizens of the same world, as Marcus put it), then we indirectly and directly make everything better for everyone.

Like each coin have two faces, the term is used in two ways, one in positive way, that we have discussed above and another is the negative way.
Recall the 9/11 attack on twins tower, honor killing incidents, gang rapes, accidents by human overconfidence etc.
the intention to write this post is to identify your positive freedom and direct your life energy towards that direction.
Be safe and let other be safe. Enjoy your freedom and let other enjoy their freedom....
