Is freedom an illusion? Is government a better choice?

in writing •  5 years ago 

We are as free as our governments allow us to be. I wouldn't necessarily say freedom is an illusion because it is something you can see and feel in most occidental countries. However it is not something we are given by default when we are born, it's something that can always change and, unfortunately, the regular person cannot dictate what direction the boat will take.

What you said makes a lot of sense to me, however... I think we all have a degree of freedom at least in regard to how we perceive or react or act. Yet there is clearly an illusion there to a degree when the government controls so much. It's weird. Anyways.. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
