I think all of you...or most of you...are lucky you did not come from a communist country...
Freedom should be the ability to be able to do things you wish to do, within the confines of respect and decency of a given society. Having consideration for others on an automatic level is key to it all.
Imagine a country, where hoodlums could do as they will, completely, with no regard of fear from any public authority. That is not a democracy, but an example where there is no real freedom, a communist dictated country. If someone is allowed to come up to you and punch you in the face, and that person feels they should be free to do it, is it freedom? Of course not.
but, human society is still far from understanding true freedom, for many lack true respect for the fellow man.
peace!

Freedom is the opportunity to make the best of what you have. It does not guarantee happiness, nor wealth, nor peace. Your freedom ends where another's begins. True freedom is more of a myth as there are always restrictions that are imposed by either society as a whole, government or another authority figure. But without those restrictions, chaos ensues. Someone mentioned anarchy and it's definition. Anarchy is the absense of rules or structure. Chaos. Many young people think that anarchy is utopia. I disagree, it is the removal of utopia. As humans we have free will. And unless every living human has the same ideals, the same goals, the same thoughts about what is good and bad for everybody, and shares the same principles, anarchy would be the total destruction of all society. IF everybody did think, feel and act the same, rules, government, etc. would not be necessary. And yes, a utopian world would exist. If I am correct this sounds kind of like what Hitler was trying to do. Create a race of people that all were physically superior, had very similar ideals, very similar goals, etc. Sounds quite boring to me.
