There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can’t ride you unless your back is bent.

So true… some take it for granted.
You got my point. Thanks!
I disagree: ‘freedom (like love) has to be unconditional.
The ‘responsibility’ may be the moral imperative but never a condition for freedom.
Like ‘breathing’, freedom is a necessity for life!
Namaskaram.
It may be unconditional but there has to be limits for freedom. Too much of it can get the ball in the wrong court.
Try imposing limits to your imagination then maybe you could apply…’limits for freedom’.
Can you do that?
Okay, I get your point here. What I feel is freedom can be regarding anything as the points you kept here, I absolutely stand by them!
I’m not sure what exactly you mean when you say: ‘What I feel is freedom can be regarding anything as the points you kept here, I absolutely stand by them!’
Can you clarify?
