Today I wrote about Freedom
The dictionary definition of freedom does not make it sound as harmful as it really is. The dictionary defines freedom as "the right to do or say what you want without any one stopping you." However, people who know the true meaning of freedom know that this definition is completely wrong. True freedom is able to exist under the certain limitations. In addition, a freedom without limitations is not freedom but a debauchery and wickedness. For instance, there are two dogs. One lives outside and the other lives in the house with its owner. Which one do you think has more freedom, the one which stays outside or the one inside? In my opinion, definitely the second one because it seems like the one which lives outside has freedom but it is not real freedom. It has to consider everything by itself, such as, where it would sleep or thinking about what to eat. While the other on is able to take rest under its owner, it does not have worry about anything. That is real freedom. Thus, true freedom is not doing whatever you want, but under the limitations.

Your posting is thought-provoking, but I'm not sure I agree with you. The inside dog might have an easier life and be happier, but I'm not sure he is freer than the outside dog. He does not have freedom of choice, but the outside dog does.
ummmm...I agree with Elaine. I can understand what do u want to say, but I think the inside dog does not have freedom, maybe he has better life than the other but he is not free. For example, an owner of the dog wants to go outside and the dog wants too, but he can't go outside. But another dog has freedom because his life is just for himself and he decides everything he wants not the others!
