What does being free mean to you?
Being free means to be born with a free will, without the shackles of slavery to enslave you, to confine you (unless you are bound to the shackles that men put on you, that we bind ourselves with).
Freedom is being who you are, who you choose to be, where you to choose to live, what you choose to do. Freedom is being free to choose who you love, loving them without judgement and prejudices. You are free to choose who you love and how you love.
You have a freedom to follow your dreams, to practice your beliefs, to settle Anyway you choose to settle. You are free and no one can take your freedom away.
Along with freedom, rules and laws are necessary. Without them there would be anarchy and lawlessness. Religion too is necessary, it gives shape to your beliefs and forms your moral compass. But neither law or religion should discriminate, should take your freedom, should force you to do what would circumvent your freedom. Should tell you otherwise.
Religion though needed should not cloud your mind. Religion should broaden your thinking and not narrow it. Religion should give you the freedom to accept one for who they are, not judge and look down on something against nature. Religion should be tolerant of all and not intolerant.
Similarly the law needs to uphold freedom and not unlawfully take it away. It should not be used as a tool to rob one of their freedom.
Freedom is a gift which we all have been blessed with. A blessing for all. But never take it for granted, cause we will never know it's true worth unless it is taken away. We can never have freedom by taking it away from others. So we've got to learn to respect freedom of all.
Freedom is truly a blessed gift which we all have been blessed with.
