Practicing The Real Freedom is a Hope

The point is what the freedom is; Is it doing whatever the one would like to do ? In case of answering this question by No, some people may ask: is it a freedom if we can't do whatever we would like to do?!                                On the other hand, if the answer is Yes, I would ask a question: does it  (doing whatever the one would like to do) involve stealing, killing, hurting or insulting the others in any way ?! That maybe a freedom but in the jungle world!   I believe that the freedom can't be like that.

The question is:

Why do people usually take into consideration only 2 opposite sides (yes and no)? Why can they rarely imagine that answers may lie in the mean, the golden mean?

I think the freedom is both limited and unlimited. At the same time. A paradox? But there is an example of the limited endlessness in the nature (in physics laws). The number pi. It begins with 3.1415926... etc. It is endless (irrational). But it has its limits as well: 3.1 and 3.2, for instance.

So, why can't the freedom be based on the same principle?..

Although Pi is free to walk for ever, it's only in one direction...

I still think that the problem lies in perception. We should be discussing what in fact we understand as total freedom and what would allow us to do with it. I do suspect that the concept and how total freedom is understood in a place like India it's total different from the United States, for example. And doesn't have anything to do with the economy, in my perception!

Best,
