This , i'm sure means different things to different people,
What does it mean to you?

To me it means, having the time to do the things i really want to do,
but with working ,i don't get enough free time.

Like more travel, learning new skills, more time in the garden, reading more books, and so on.conversing teddybear

That I may do everything I want as long as it does not restricts the freedom of my fellow people! Simple as that.
Or not? As what does it mean not restricting other people's freedom???

The way I see it I don't believe that anyone is truly "free" as we are led to think we are.

One way or another we all conform to one thing or another.

To me, it's being thankful, grateful and appreciative to those who had sacrificed their freedoms so that I could have mine. May they all rest in peace. purple heart

That was my first thought when I saw the thread title.

I think what I like right now is not having to be on a routine schedule. No longer dictated by an alarm clock to get up, and no longer psyched into any specific timeframe to go to bed on a daily basis,
Now that's an enjoyable freedom. happy place

Very nice thread topic, Annaroach wave

That is a personal choice.

Personally, i have been marching to the beat of someone elses drum for a very long time.

From now on ,i consider myself free., to do what ever i want to enjoy life.cheering wink

No one has to pay with their life for my freedom.
No one has to give their blood for my freedom.
...
No one has to give anything of theirs for my freedom.

Therefore: I am free.
