Some people say that freedom means you can do anything you want. Really? Assuming we are human, then we are imperfect, no? We tend to be selfish and self-centered when "free" to do what we want. Disaster happens. We are not free if we obey a will that wants what it wants when it wants it. We are a slave to an imperfect, but all too human will, which lacks power to choose true freedom. For me, freedom is when I do what is good for me, makes me whole, but what might limit me in getting something my I want. I say yes to what I know I need, even though I feel a strong will to do otherwise. Freedom is a struggle. But it leads to a light in the darkness.
