Freedom And The Transformative Process Of Life

Father talks about freedom. Freedom to us is the ability to do whatever we want when we want. Our definition of freedom doesn’t compare to what father is trying to teach us. He says freedom must be used wisely to reach our supernatural end. We say that virtue and morality are the limits of our freedom.

From the book “The Giver”, I have noticed an important message that the author wanted to tell us – The importance of freedom.

What does “freedom” really mean? The dictionary’s definition of freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Maybe that definition is not so explicit as it should be. Today there has been an up and down argument whether society makes us less or more free. If you take the time to really think about what society does and why they do what they do, then you would be surprised at the final result. Society makes the people less free with their devious ways of making people think what they should be doing and how everything should be.

All around the world people talk about freedom; America has more freedom than Russia, twenty-one years old as more freedom than a fifteen year old. What does “freedom” mean? Many have different definitions of “freedom”. For some it could be the freedom to speak and act as you want and others it could be to go where ever you want.

From the earlier times in our lives till now, we humans have been struggling hard to be free and independent of the things that limit our right to be free. And even though some people say that having security in life can regulate our lives and messy societies, I believe that too much security or limitation causes more dilemmas. Also, by being independent and free, one can learn new things rather than just by sticking to some widely held beliefs. We can see many examples related to this assumption everywhere in our lives, movies, books, and history.

Introduction: The freedom that I will be discussing is freedom of religion. Freedom of religion is the ability that allows the freedom of an individual or community to practice any religion or belief that they choose. It is the ability to teach, practice and worship anything without government influence or intervention. This freedom developed in Australia in 1901 to ensure a multicultural and diverse community of different religious groups and to provide a sense of belonging to people.

Freedom expressed through actions of Individuality Quotation: “But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poverty, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin” (240). Analysis: Aldous Huxley tells a story of protagonist John the Savage where he is like a fish out of water. He is so individualized that he reacts and responds differently than the plethora of soma-infested youths.

What is Freedom? Freedom is the right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Some use their liberties to express their thoughts, but end up hurting others. Others take it for granted and try to twist over federal law. Society should not be voicing their opinions to hurt Freedom, but to strengthen Freedom instead because Freedom presents opportunities.

Today we accept that freedom is a basic right human right but what exactly is freedom. 1On one hand, there is physical freedom. People who are not imprisoned or enslaved are free. On the other hand, there is freedom as a the right to act, speak or think what you want. People cannot reach their full potential if they are not free in both senses of the word.

Through this letter to the Galatians written by St. Paul one can understand freedom is our vocation and that one must utilize this freedom in ways that express the love we have for the other. Through the commandments we are given the decision to obey God's word or to deny it. Christ telling us to love everyone as we love ourselves is a summary of those commandments. Therefore, this freedom given to us by God comes with the responsibility to strive for the eschatological good by doing what is best for our neighbour through actions of love. In addition, although we were given free will by God it is not to be used for self-gratification because this is contrary to what God intended us to use this freedom for. Hence,

Therefore freedom for the individual is “bound by how they view the world, God, the human person and how they relate to the people around them”. This type of freedom, is being free from all habits, both good and bad and doing what you believe you should do to do good. It is not just acting from an automatic unconscious habit of being good but having the will power to be good, even in the face of strong temptation. True freedom originates from the past and the present, the good and the bad, our thoughts and actions, to do good with the guidance of God. To act using wisdom rather than compulsive desires and habits. As without true Christian freedom, individuals are ruled by habits, their surroundings and impulse as, “Freedom is the power rooted in reason and will, to act or not to act, to do this or that, and so performance deliberate actions on one’s own responsibility” (CCC 1731). Having the free will to do and make moral decisions that correspondingly represent the individuals’ true nature through the means of mercy and compassion for humanity, god’s creation. Through God and his creation we are all “created in his image and likeness”, conveying that as humanity we should be behaving in a manner that represents the behaviour of Christ, our saviour. In correlation to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, it recognises that the ‘True State of Freedom’ only

In this essay I will explain my personal opinion about what I believe Sartre means in his lecture, where he quotes “We are condemned to be free.", "Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. I will discuss in further details, what I believe he means when he speaks of freedom and its burden. What does freedom mean for individuals and living an authentic life? Why might God be an obstacle to radical freedom and why I consider myself as free as Sartre speaks of?

First, what is freedom? It's an ambiguous term that can hold many different meanings to different people. Where a person comes from, their socio-economic status, their race, age, gender and other factors play a role in defining what freedom is. It's used in many different senses, for example: is freedom being able to do as you like

Freedom has a large range of meaning. The encyclopedia Britannica defines freedom as “the quality or state of being free, and the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action” (Britannica). In the American society there is a lot of emphasis on freedom, and the right to be free, but one must question to what extent we are truly “free”.

Freedom, however, means a moment or moments marked by the ability to do or say whatever someone wants at a certain time in a certain place. This notion, as we have noticed from the definition, is directly seen to collide with the notion of religion. Religions put certain rules and limitations for its believers on how to act and what to speak within this religion. And from what I had previously mentioned having faith in a certain religion is to
