Is "freedom " a real thing?
According to our human rights, freedom is present in every aspect, as our freedom to belief in what we want. However, talking deeply about this topic, "real freedom " doesn't exist as no matter what we do, we will be restricted from doing many things. So the question of "Are we free? " has a really different answer from what had been thought before.

Re: Is "freedom " a real thing?
You can take it from two different point of views. One, from a quote from Jean Paul Satre: "We are condemned to be free". From this quote we can infer we are slaves of our own freedom; of the freedom the world has let us to have. This may be because, as a paradox it may sound, we can't choose what we wan for ourselfs, but freedom dictates it.
The other point of view is to think that we are restricted in a lot of manners from a complete freedom. However, this is necessary for a moral society to keep going.

Never had I reed before, that someone in the world says that we are slaves of our own liberty. I respect your opinion, but I not agree you, since as Benjamin Franklin says “freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of god and nature”. For me freedom is a hot potato, as everybody has different ideas what freedom is or what does it mean. But for me freedom is like water, you can not live without freedom if not we were like slaves around the world. You know how to control or guide your freedom through the society.
