Change is the only thing in this world and beyond that is a “constant”. The world a hundred years ago was very different from the world we know today, and it will change again. In all of that time the meaning of “freedom” has changed based on the needs of the people, and each time there is such a change we learn something new.
There is one thing that I try to look for when I think about what freedom can mean, not just for myself but for others as well. The bigger picture.
Freedom, to me, means to be able to live unimpeded. To live in ways that we each can be happy and healthy, without being hurt or dominated by others, and vice versa. Idealistic? Sure, but it’s as simple as all that, even if it is a pipe dream under our current world circumstances.
