Freedom is relative to your personal history, in my opinion that is!
As I had a quite heavy past with my mom dying after being sick for a very long time when I was fifteen, losing my father to braincancer two years ago, and being an only child, with nobody (except my wife) to share the grief with...
I had psychologically a very rough time, both after my mom had died and in the period that my father was suffering very bad. Even now I have episodes where I feel pretty bad, fortunately they are getting less frequent and less bad.
Now back to freedom, when suffering from psychological issues (panic attacks, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD,...) there is only one thing someone wishes and that is freedom of thoughts!
There is no money, prestige, fame, possesions, ... that can replace that.

There's freedom for me!
