“Is freedom anything else than the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.” – Epictetus

My Thoughts:

Life is pretty hard when it comes to freedom. I mean as I’m updating this in 2023 let’s take a look at the war that is taking place with Russia and Ukraine. After thinking for a while, there really is no freedom to the Russian soldiers as they are getting into this war. There is just so much going on with this war that freedom is just not there. This war would have ended, but since USA is pretty much helping Ukraine with everything, it’s as if it’s USA versus Russia. Pretty complicated war and feels like it is just going to go on and on.

Our Way

If we can’t live the way we want to live that what is the point of freedom anyway? Freedom means to do as you wish in your own commands. However, it just depends on the situations as well.

No Freedom

After thinking for long there really is no freedom to begin with. You can’t do anything as you wish to do because you have to follow rules and regulations. You can’t even have the freedom to get any job that you want because some jobs you need a certificate. On top of that you can’t even live the way you want. From city to city, everything is regulated with rules that we need to follow. So where exactly is the freedom?

Living in USA is so hard that you can’t even pay house rent if you live alone. Everything is just outrageous, and you need to live with a roommate just to be able to live. I mean as the apartment rent is so high, it pretty much makes you suffer just to live. Now talk about freedom?
