Freedom

? ? ? ? asked:


What is the difference between “freedom from…” and “freedom to…”?

As in: “We were given freedom from oppression” and “They weren’t bestowed with the freedom to express themselves.”

I think I came across this while reading “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood. It’s a novel about life in a false-utopian dictatorship-like society. Actually, more like a totalitarian society. It’s about how every person in society has a role such as “the handmaid”, “the wife”, “the Marthas”, “the Commander”, “the Econowives” etc. The main character, Offred eventually learns of the dystopia in the society she lives in and secretly plans a revolution. It’s a pretty good book really.

I am thinking about buying a Thermador freedom collection 30″ refrigerator + 18″ freezer. Since the history of this product is not very long, I couldn’t find much data about the reliability of it. Could someone who own one of this refrigerator please tell me whether there is any maintainance issue with it? I really like the look of it, but just don’t want to buy something that’ll break down often or soon. Thanks a bunch!

Financial freedom plans can look and sound great on paper but the harsh reality can be far removed from some of those glib online promises. Sure, wouldn’t everyone like to achieve financial freedom and have all the free time they need to do the things they love. Things like spending more time with the family, giving back to the community or just a comfortable retirement. Whatever your idea of a financial freedom plan is you are sure to find an abundant supply of dream peddlers out there on the internet ready to part you from your hard earned cash.

The question you are probably asking yourself is, Are there really any genuine financial freedom plans out there at all? We have all seen those compelling sales pitches encouraging us to join this that or some other online business opportunity. I will guess that many of you reading this will even have parted with your money and joined one or two of these financial freedom plan schemes as well. I guess you are maybe at the stage where you are more than ready to give up entirely on anything related to home business or financial security altogether.

Well don’t give up just yet because believe it or not there are things out there that do actually work and are making a lot of folks a considerable income to boot. Many of people in search of a financial freedom plan turn to the internet in the hope of finding what they are looking for. The bad news is that most of them never find it. Instead they spend a shed load of money on phony get rich quick schemes and internet scams that give them nothing in return. A few hardened souls however do find a financial freedom plan that actually works and what’s more works well.

The only difference between them and the guys that gave up is exactly that, they didn’t! They didn’t give up. The point here being that most folks give up far to early and far to easily. As soon as they realize they won’t make millions in a few months with Ivor Scamers get rich do no work plan they simply throw in the towel. The fact is that most people searching for the financial freedom plan to turn their lives around give up at the first hurdle. Earning a living on the internet and building a residual income is not easy but it is possible.

Most of those who do eventually achieve financial freedom have gone through the scam phase probably at least once if not more. The difference is that they learnt from the experience and turned something negative into a positive learning curve. Also they remained persistent in their quest for financial freedom. There is a saying often quoted amongst the home business opportunity fraternity as follows “be consistently persistent” and it rings true for many who have succeeded in online business. So don’t give up on your search for that financial freedom plan because perseverance always brings it’s reward to those who stand the test of time.

Financial Freedom is a very hot topic anywhere. Every person wants to achieve it, no matter what the meaning of “Financial Freedom” to them.

Well, to me, Financial Freedom is simply “A Conditions Where Our Passive Income Is Increasing Each Month, While Our Spending/Outcome Monthly Is Less Then Those Income.”

That’s the simple (to me). Can you imagine that condition? Where we can spend the money for anything we want/need for life (for good things only), while our income is is becoming bigger and bigger every month we check our bank account?

10 people I asked about this meaning, come to 10 answers about it.

So Fellow, no matter what’s the meaning to you, You have to have one for your own self. You can’t just follow with other’s interpretation about it.

The First Most Important Step is :

What’s The Meaning of “ Financial Freedom ” to You ?

Sounds like a simple question above, but it makes a lot of differences at last results in our life. You have to ask your self to find what the meaning.

A great tip I use till now is you can find a quite place to make a deep thinking about what you want in this life? What kind of life you wanna achieve? How much money do you want? What kind of stuffs you’d like to have? What kind of system/ways do you have to use to help you achieve it? Or anything… really.. it works.

Before you pointless start to walk your first step to Financial Freedom of your dream, please ask your self the question above… it takes time, sometimes a lot of times. It’s normal.

When, you have figured the meaning of “Financial Freedom” to your own self, It’s time to start Your journey achieving it. I suggest : with a proven system you’re comfortable with.

In pirates of the carribean, jack sparrow saw the seas as freedom. Many sailors do that, but that was before all the seas were charted, and there was nowhere to hide. Early americans saw the frontier as freedom, but then the US goverment caught up once it was all settled…People in the early 1900s saw the skies as freedom, but after ww1 and ww2 and cold war missle development, no matter where you are in the sky, they can find you. Physicists and those guys see space as freedom, an infinately large place, the final frontier, “Set full sail” “To the skys” “Warp engage”

Where do you expect to find freedom? My freedom is in the skies and forests. I think we all know why, for peace.

Stephen Carrier asked:


To get on the path to financial freedom is not always the effortless road to travel. Even though it can and is being accomplished n today’s world with the use of the Internet, technology and with steady work ethics.

Many people have created financial freedom by building businesses offline and the conventional way, like starting up a retail store, or purchasing real estate, selling insurance and the list goes on.  The old traditional way is disappearing slowly, to make way to online home businesses.

The reality is that you can currently start an actual online empire that will launch you into financial freedom and create for you and your family a future legacy quicker than any traditional business could ever wish for.

To many people attach a bad stigma to network marketing or online businesses simply because of all the stories they hear of other people’s failures.

Stories are stories and opinions are just that, opinions. People who listen and believe other people’s opinions never went to the source of people who have success in those industries to get the real facts, rather than believing the excuses that failures make. It is my belief, and I know for a fact, that people fail in this industry because they don’t have any work focus if they don’t have a boss looking over them, they are not consistent, they do not stick with it long enough to see that it does work and most importantly, they don’t have a burning desire to succeed. They gave up on their dreams and goals. You must persevere through the good times and bad times in order for any business to flourish.

All you do need to do is to be able to keep up with technology and your marketing and having a real mentor who cares about helping people on his or her team will make all the difference and will take care of educating you if there are any changes to help you grow your business. You might and probably will, hit bumps in the road and come across hurdles but it’s definitely no reason to let go of your dreams and goals. It should make you a stronger person, a stronger leader and mentor down the road.

More and more millionaires are being created out the network marketing industry and online businesses today than any other industry out there. There are lots of sincere and genuine people out there who’s goals are to help as many people as possible succeed, make a difference in somebody’s life who needs it, helping families get out of debt and those legitimate people are looking for new comers to the internet to join their team and show them the way to financial freedom, and new success happens everyday.

What does financial freedom means? It doesn’t just mean having all the money in the world. To me, the true definition of financial freedom is having no debt towards others, having some money in the bank, not letting the amount of money you have in your pocket make the decision for you and if you are truly financially free you should have freedom of time as well. You are in charge of your life. No boss, no alarm clock, going on trips whenever you want, spending time with your kids, not missing and soccer games or school plays, etc. The price tag is irrelevant, you buy it because you want it or need it. That’s just me; it’s all in how you personally choose to view financial freedom.

It all starts with a decision. A dream. A goal. A need or a want. Only one person can make that decision to become financially free.  YOU. Think of it as a chess game. You make precise moves to keep away from being in the checkmate position. Make the intelligent and planed moves, the quicker and more confidently you take action, the quicker you will accomplish your financial freedom. This is the game you want to win for yourself and for your family. Create that freedom. Create that legacy.

NIETHER PLANET, WORLD, CONTINENT, COUNTRY , STATE , CITY , VILLAGE AND NOR AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON IS SOVEREIGN OR INDEPENDENT  OR HAVING COMPLETE FREEDOM .I AM HAVING EXAMPLE OF SOVEREIGN.

 

 

DEFFINTION OF FREEDOM

 



Freedom is a mental condition-a condition of the spirit. All of us are free, if we but choose to acknowledge it. To borrow from Rose Wilder Lane, freedom is control of self. The essence of your “self” is your mind, soul, and spirit. We all are always free to change our thoughts, improve our knowledge and understanding, change our attitudes and beliefs-the inner part of each of us. We do need more folks to recognize that they already are FREE!



Liberty is a condition of the physical body: the absence of physical restraints. We seek liberty to use our resources, time, intelligence, and energy in the most beneficial (to us) way.

A productive, healthy society of freedom-and liberty-minded individuals is not to be confused with a libertine one. The conditions of liberty and freedom, above all, require individual responsibility in every phase of life. Each of us must take the consequences of our actions, good and bad. This is not easy, especially with our Big Brother the State standing by to present at least the illusion of “help” with every aspect of our lives.

Because the root of the problem (irresponsibility) is so ingrained, trying to convince others to live the freedom ideas through slogans, speeches, and hype is usually short on results. At best they provide the spark which causes an individual to seek out new information.

The “library of freedom”-books, pamphlets, newspapers, and magazines-not only documents man’s quest from ancient times forward, but also is an important, longer lasting way to spread the word and fan the spark of interest into a flame.

But “plain-Jane” and unexciting as it sounds, I believe the most effective way to spread the freedom idea is to educate ourselves and raise our children to be honest, knowledgeable, confident, responsible lovers of freedom-to light a single candle. If each one of us lights another candle, and each of those follows suit, the freedom ideas will grow from a quiet bonfire to a WILDFIRE engulfing everything in its path.

Living in an environment of liberty and freedom is akin to being a parent-it is the best of times; it is the worst of times. With neither can you ever relax your vigilance, there is always work to be done, you are always being called upon to exercise new skills, and improve upon old ones. There is a tremendous amount of worry involved, also discouragement and uncertainty. On the other hand, it is hard to convey to a non-parent, just as to a statist, the joys, rewards, exhilaration, and satisfactions that make the responsibilities worthwhile. You just have to have faith, jump in, and DO IT!.

DEFFINITION  OF SOVEREIGN

Supreme or highest in power; superior to all others ; independent off , and unlimited by ,any other ; self governing ; autonomous:(of political bodies)not controlled by outside force ; an “autonomous judiciary “

 

From my way we can relate freedom with sovereign

Because -:

What is freedom?

The word here describe about a particular thing or individual who is free from all the things and rules. Meaning that there is no person or any Law who can govern a particular individual who is having freedom. So an individual can have freedom only if he is the head of all the thing existing at present.

 

What is Sovereign?

The word here describe about an individual or a particular thin who is head of all or we can say he can not be governed by anything which is existing at present .

FREEDOM CAN BE RELATED TO SOVEREIGN

So freedom and Sovereign laid emphasis on same thing. That is they are having same meaning.

 

IF WE TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE THING OR AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON THEY ARE NOT HAVING FREEDOM OR THAY ARE NOT SOVEREIGN. THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS-:

 

PLANET-:

                   Planet is not a sovereign because it revolves around sun on a particular orbit and it has no other option other than this. So every planet abides this rule of revolving around sun. So Planet does not have complete freedom to stop revolving around the sun and it does not have freedom to chose another path for revolving around sun or it doest not have even freedom too to revolve around any thing else except sun .

WORLD-:

                   World is not a sovereign because it depends upon Planet (EARTH). Let me tell you sir that how world depend upon Planet. World does not have complete freedom to change weather or monsoon, day and night timing and nor the year timing. So the change in monsoon, day and night timing and year timing depends upon the Planet revolution around the sun. So here the world has no control over monsoon , day and night timing  and nor on year timing too. World also depend upon how much area is covered by it and area depends upon how much big is the Planet. Here we are referring to area because if area is not so much large or big then word “WORLD” will not be assigned to it. Since if World would not have depend upon area then we can call Continent as a World also.

CONTINENT-:

                        Continent is also not sovereign because continent means how much area is covered by a particular continent, continent depends upon area and area depends upon world. Since more large the world will be the continent will also be larger. I mean to say continent depend upon world. Here we are referring to area because if area is not so much large or big then word “CONTINENT” will not be assigned to it. Since if Continent would not have depend upon area then we can call Country as a Continent also. So because of this continent is not a sovereign or it is not having complete freedom.

COUNTRY-:

                        Country is not a sovereign because it comes under Continent. Since Country depends upon how much area is being covered by it and area depends upon continent. Here we are referring to area because if area is not so much large or big then word “COUNTRY” will not be assigned to it. Since if Country would not have depend upon area then we can call State as a Country also . So country does not have complete freedom to increase its area.

STATE-:

             State is not a sovereign because it comes under country because. Since state depends upon area how much big it is or how much area is being covered by it. State does not have complete freedom to increase its area. Here we are referring to area because if area is not so much large or big then word “STATE” will not be assigned to it. Since if state would not have depended upon area then we can call City as a State also. State abides the rule of Country. Here the rules refer to the Law stated by the particular country and Law shall be abide by all the state of a particular country. Mostly Law of a particular state and country are same .

CITY-:

           City is not a sovereign because it comes under state and mostly city are capitol of a particular state . City also depend upon how much area is being covered by it . City area depends upon area of State. Here we are referring to area because if area is not so much large or big then word “CITY” will not be assigned to it . Since if CITY would not have depend upon area then we can call Village as a City also. Cities abide the rule of State. It does not have complete freedom to make new Law. City abides the Law of a particular state and then country. Mostly Law of a particular city, state and country are same . City can not make it’s own Law. So it depends upon other and hence we can say that it does not have complete freedom.

VILLAGE-:

                   Village is not a sovereign because it comes under City. Village depend upon area that is how much area is being covered by it and the area covered by the village depends upon area covered by the City. Here we are referring to area because if area is not so much large or big then word “Village” will not be assigned to it. Since if City would not have depend upon area then we can call Village as a City also. Village also abide rule of city then state then country and hence we can say that it does not have complete freedom so it is also not sovereign. Mostly Law of a particular village, city , state and country are same .

IDIVIDUAL PERSON WHO EVER HE/SHE MAY BE-:

An individual person who ever he/she may be is not a SOVEREIGN and he/she also does not have complete freedom the reason why he/she is not a sovereign and he/she also does not have complete freedom is as follows-:

 

·        The first prove is that if an individual person lives in a village or city or state or country or continent or world or planet he/she is not a SOVEREIGN and he/she also does not have complete freedom because the places stated above are themselves not a Sovereign. So if group is not a Sovereign then how cans a sub-group be a Sovereign. Here group is places and sub-groups refer to individual person.

 

·        Second prove is that every person of the village, city, state and country is advised to abide the Law of that particular country other wise he/she would be punished if he/she is found guilty. So here also no person has got complete freedom to do anything as he/she want , here a person can do things what he want up to a limit . If a person does anything beyond the limit given by the Law then particular person is going to be punished who ever he/she may be because Law is equal for every one. We live here but we are we are bounded by Law’s that is regulating us in an indirect way.

 

CONCLUSION-:

          So from my way there is no person who is living any other place other then village or city or state or country or continent or world or planet so there is no person who is sovereign or is having complete freedom.

          As far as I think so none of the person in a particular country is exempted from the Law of that country who ever he/she may be. So from here also we get that there is nobody who is Sovereign or is having complete freedom.

        Even we the people of INDIA do not have complete freedom on speech and expression since there are some restriction which are laid in article 19 regarding freedom of speech and expression.

EXAMPLE OF SOVEREIGN-:

                        We can not get example of person who is Sovereign from social view.

                        But we can get example of Sovereign if we see from the Eyes of Science.

THE EXAMPLE OF SOVEREIGN IS -:

                                                               GRAVITY

Gravity is the best example of Sovereign because it is not governed by anything yet. Gravity is independent and the one who is independent is Sovereign and has also got complete freedom. So we get the example of Sovereign when we saw the thing from eyes of Science.

Gravity attracts us we don’t attract gravity. We are being governed by Gravity. Gravity is not being governed by us and nor by our country or international Law’s too.

SO NOW I THINK YOU HONORABLE READER HAD GOT THE MEANING OF SOVEREIGN AND ITS EXAMPLE ALSO.

WITH THE HOPE THAT I HAD SATISFIED YOU RGARDING SOVEREIGN DEFFINITION I END HERE.

Jonathan H asked:


I have read The Sickness Unto Death by Søren Kierkegaard, and find it to be the most compelling explication of selfhood and human freedom. Since my own search for truth and understanding has led me to genuinely (I dare say feverishly) believe in the freeing implications of authentically pure Christianity, what other author/book/philosopher shares these views? What have you found?

The humanities and religion seem to be failing because of a fear that freedom will be restricted or lost. Isn’t this a myth? Isn’t it a tool to prevent the errosion of our freedom? Are we not responsible for the way we use religion, humanities, the arts?
