FREEDOM

the condition of being free; the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints
exemption: immunity from an obligation or duty

Freedom to me means that everyone can speak their mind and do what they want to a certain degree. My "freedom" STOPS when it impinges on someone else’s "freedom".

I want the freedom to buy what I want.
I want the freedom to go where I want.
I want the freedom do what I want.
I want the freedom to speak my mind.
I want the freedom to read what I want.
I want the freedom to listen to what I want.
I want the freedom to go to school even if I’m a woman.
I want the freedom to dress the way I want.
I want the same freedom as a man.

All this of course is ok as long as I don’t "hurt" anyone. There are instances when what I might say will hurt someone else but do I still have the right to say it or don’t I? For example, I might say that a certain group of people are lazy. Is it ok or not?

Can I read/write a book that talks about the non existence of God?

I hope and pray that one day there will be PEACE and freedom everywhere in the world.
