What is Freedom?

: the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action~ MW

The absence of necessity? Necessity: the state of being at need. Need for food, water, shelter.

Coercion: the power to impose one’s will on to another. (Business model’s peak goal)

Constraint in choice- the power to choose, from limited options… (phone service, food, water, housing… is it a choice, or a coin toss between two evils? Is it a choice or an alternative?)

Questions: 1- do you really have freedom? 2- do you really want freedom? 3- can you really handle freedom?

“People do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility and most people are frightened of responsibility.” Sigmund Freud
