“Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.”
—Herbert Hoover
Definition of freedom is:
“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock,no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”
—Virginia Woolf
Awareness as a child.
As as a child freedom was used in the context of slavery , different world wars, human rights and voting . Listening to BBC world news with my parents freedom was used with groups of people protesting for different human rights. That was basically all I knew until I became an entrepreneur.
Freedom has a range of different meaning.
” Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.” Thomas Jefferson
Can freedom be created?
ABSOLUTELY, FREEDOM CAN BE CREATED. EVERY INDIVIDUAL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY ON A DAILY BASIS TO CREATE FREEDOM. IT IS A STATE OF MIND. NO ONE SHOULD ASK PERMISSION FOR FREEDOM. WE WERE ALL CREATED WITH FREE WILL AND THE CHOICE TO CHOOSE A DIRECTION IN OUR LIFE SPAN ON THIS EARTH. IT IS CREATED BY WHAT THOUGHTS WE DECIDE TO ENTERTAIN. FOR INSTANCE, POVERTY IS A STATE OF MIND . IT TOOK ME YEARS TO COMPREHEND THIS TERM. POVERTY IS A RESULT OF THOUGHTS OF LACK AND WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO MAKE THAT CHANGE.
As parents, educators and teachers we can implement in children the idea of creative thinking. Capturing the young minds that are not tainted by the external things in our environment. Encourage them to think big.The master key is reading and education . This will be the foundation to freedom and create a generation of free and creative thinkers.

Oh my goodness Camille, you definitely nailed it in this post. A very powerful message about Freedom. We all have free will from God and the freedom to think, be and do what we want. We should remember that righteousness is first and foremost.
