"Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility."
- Sigmund Freud
People crave freedom, but often shy away from what it takes to achieve it.
What does it take to achieve freedom?
A deep need and desire for responsibility.
True freedom is only attainable through responsibility.
Irresponsibility leads to enslavement-the antithesis of freedom-because it means relinquishing control over your life to external forces.
Maybe it’s alcohol, food, a comfortable 9-5 job, weekend nightlife, addiction, escapism, fear, materialism, or a lack of faith.
This is why people fear freedom:
They prefer the temporary happiness of irresponsible conveniences (that keep you enslaved) over facing the harsh reality of self-reflection and change. It’s easier to trade freedom for fleeting pleasures than to confront the uncomfortable truth that your lifestyle needs a serious overhaul to achieve the freedom you dream of.
Your desire for freedom must transform into a desire for responsibility.
Only when this realization occurs will real change begin.
The urge to be responsible will compel you to take disciplined actions.
This is why those who achieve real success and freedom always say that discipline equals freedom.
And it’s why those who haven't achieved success or freedom often claim that the successful are just “lucky.”
This is why unsuccessful people buy lottery tickets, while successful people build businesses of value to create wealth.
The difference lies in their mindset: the absence of responsibility and discipline in one, and their presence in the other.
Unsuccessful people believe luck is random.
Successful people know that luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
It’s that simple.

Freedom is relative and means different things to different people.

[@ThoughtsonThinking]

In any circumstance do you not think freedom requires a particular virtue for it to be achieved?

Freedom is when good and evil [F[ is RE done from one way..one E to another E so that all sides in the mind cancel out as love is ligh-t where the lie is crossed was the sides as 1-6 is [EE] that goes back into S-EE at S-EVEN between the sixes 6 6 6. Freedom is when you wake up and see that when you have no evil side you do not maintain a good side either. No evil is the meaning of good before it became relative to evil. Lose both sides because no evil is good is why "god is good". at the tree of life where even a tree is there where cross {T} RE the E is into light at s-even for even the tree is free somewhere at see other than think trapped between you and me.
