Bryan brilliantly offers his insights into the question of freedom. I think he hit it out of the park - what say you?

A snippety-snippet:

Ask one hundred people what freedom means, and ninety-nine of them will tell you something that looks like, sounds like, or maybe even feels like freedom, but really isn’t. And if there is anything that has mastered the ability to deceive the “duck test,” it’s the wolf of carnal bondage wearing the lambskin of freedom.

Contrary to popular opinion, freedom isn’t being unfettered from responsibility. It isn’t release from consequence or accountability. It isn’t entitlement, license, or absolution. People all over show their total incomprehension of freedom by their perpetual abuse of it, as well as for settling for a myriad of experiences and states-of-being that are freedom-ish, but in and of themselves not genuine freedom.
