true freedom is not given or taken away
it is not owned or subject to conditions
it is something you find
when you find the truth
you realize you're free
you have been
you are
you will be...
...free
=======================

May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.
Peter Marshall

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
Jim Morrison

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln

Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.
Mohandas Gandhi

There is no such thing as part freedom.
Nelson Mandela

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
Malcolm X

Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
George Orwell

The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.
Saul Alinsky

I know but one freedom, and that is the freedom of the mind.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.
Simone de Beauvoir

=======================
Jonah

Wicked seeds seek for a sign
Worm and blight, withered vine
Cruel sun blasting on their head
Without love, the wind is dead

But anger is not heaven's way
God sent love to save the day
Shining Son on cursed tree
Broken hearted slaves set free

Good Observation - free will absolutely does implicate freedom to both sides of the relative spectrum, bad & good, and thus we see this world in the current state.
However, the purpose of the OP was to compel readers to consider inner freedom...that is, not the freedom to do anything in a society in turmoil, but the freedom to BE a sovereign human being, integral to the species.
