Freedom, Nilhilism and Existentialism

[dazed_girl]

To me freedom means freedom of action, freedom of being and freedom of choice. Though freedom is often constricted by society and its laws, there is still your choice. You are free to choose how you live even if there are consequences. You could walk out in the street naked because it is your choice. Humans may not believe they can do such things.

That's an interesting definition of freedom. I've never thought about it that way before. I suppose in a completely free society, we would do anything we wanted to do, without regard of consequence. Walking out naked into the street is a fine example, but what about murdering my neighbor? I wouldn't want to live in a completely free society. I choose to obey the law, and I choose to live in a nation of laws. I regard myself as free because I have no desire to do those things that are prohibited by law.
