Are we free?

Are we free? A question that sounds stupid but rather interesting. A lot of people are fighting for freedom, fair enough. But are we really free? To answer this question, I will ask the following questions:

• Are we free from social laws and regulate? No
• Are we free from the social influence such as how we think? No
• Are we free from physical suffering such as aging, disease and eventually death? No
• Are we free from emotional suffering such as addiction, rage, depression, broken heart, frustration, disappointment etc...? No

So in regards to these questions, it shows that us humans aren't really free as we might think we are. We are more of less trap in the world of inevitable suffering. OK, enough with being pestmistic. One good news is that at least there is inner freedom, if one becomes more in touch with themselves and know how to remove psychological pain, I believe that is one freedom worth fighting for!
