Freedom

[resist_anywhere]

Freedom means not fearing.  Freedom means choosing one's own mental state.  Freedom means dancing in the rain.  Freedom means dancing without music, or with any music at all.  Freedom means loving yourself.  Freedom means needing nothing and wanting everything.  Freedom means choice.  Freedom means voice.  Live free or die.

Consider, is there any "freedom" that is not a "freedom from something"? If so, then how is it ever appropriate to talk about general "freedom"? Doesn't that assume that people know which "freedom from something" you are talking about?

Freedom without modifiers is freedom from undue outside influence, as I define it. Sure, you can't be free from a hurricane, that could always happen to you. Being physically free is impossible in the current climate of the world, I think. But I'm just referring to a general state of mental freedom; of emotional autonomy; of agency in one's own life.
