What is freedom? Is it an absolute right? We are born to become free. Freedom is defined
from different aspects ,and according to different cultures, freedom varies from culture to
another. Some define freedom as a natural right, the human being is born with. Everyone
wants to be free and independent from others. Freedom is the right to do what one wants,
live where he wants, eat what he wants, learns what he wants, and chooses the religion in
which he believes, without ignoring or harming other rights.
How can we live free? From my point of view, we can live free by respecting others
rights to live free too. We can not ignore the rights of people with whom we live in the
society. We can not simply do what we want and ignore others. We must take other
people rights into consideration.
The idea behind freedom is to be respectful and useful to our society. Freedom is
important to everyone. If someone is deprived from this innate right, he will definitely
feel as if he is not a respectful human being. When freedom is guaranteed, I can think
freely, go where i want, say my opinion without fear from people who would not like my
opinion. Freedom of opinion is among the most important branches of freedom .In some
societies where freedom of opinion is not guaranteed by the authority, the creativity of
mind is killed and buried. Society is the largest and biggest loser from this lack of
creativity. Someone once said, Freedom of opinion will never result in animosity among
people if they respect each other. As I mentioned earlier, freedom is not an absolute right,
and there are too many constraints on it. Firstly, the society rights including national
security which is very important. Security is as important as freedom. Our practicing of
freedom should never lead to threatening our national security. Secondly, freedom of
belief, to believe in what you want and chooses your righteous religion. We also should
have the right to establish our own places ,where we perform our religious actions.
In Conclusion freedom is an innate right, humans are born with. Nothing should threaten
our freedom, deprive us from our right. Also our right of freedom must never harm any
other human being ,directly or indirectly. We must respect freedom of every one in the
society. This way we can enjoy our freedom through our life.
