What FREEDOM, Feels Like To Me. (Abundance.Tribe's BiWeekly Question)
In the world we currently live, in many countries, a lot of people are being controlled with poverty, lack of jobs, unemployment, disempowered by lack of opportunities and having their choices being controlled by their needs.
In Nigeria, for example, so many people cannot afford to make democratic choices based on their intuitions due to the fact that they've been tipped to sway their votes to some particular directions. These people of course understands the repercussions of their choices.
They know they're somehow exchanging their future for stipends, but then they're caught up with having to choose between the future and the present. Of course, they'll make choices to preserve their present by taking tips and other forms of incentives, made available by these politicians and this is because their freedom to actually make the right choices has been taken from them.
Freedom to me is the undisputed ability to be able to make one's own choices and live independently. So many people are unaware of what financial freedom is, their aim is to acquire a degree, graduate and of course depend on the government for jobs.
They find no intrinsic value within themselves, not the power to create wealth or the right value to personally become useful to themselves. Unemployment takes away the ability or the freedom of innovation, because having money, owning and channeling resources quite appropriately is the ability to exercise a different and peculiar form of freedom.
Entrepreneurship is what so many people cannot go it, they see the risk in the Media, the watch how unsafe and insecure it's being painted and how people are discouraged from making other financial choices like choosing to invest in crypto.
Freedom, to me, is achieving a sense of realization within oneself. The concept of freedom becomes further obvious when people are exposed to knowledge beyond their reckoning. Most government sells propaganda to prevent people from seeing what is actually the truth.
Freedom knows what reality is, the factual insights, conditions and circumstances and this would often help people form their ideologies and develop overtime. To me, the right to knowledge or life changing truth. Should be a human right, taking away the ability for people to know what is obtainable is absolutely swaying them in one direction.
The reason why adoption of crypto hasn't hit utmost levels is because most government of the world are trying to regulate, ban or totally eradicate it. The thoughts of having wealthy people who no longer needs to succumb to government control, however freedom is taking that stress to discover for oneself.
Freedom is having the means to live a fulfilled life to a particular extent. Our life is ours and sometimes the means to live it fully isn't there, this might be dependent on lack of opportunities or the innovation to actually change it. Many only sees freedom as the ability to overly expressive of their thoughts and actions.
But being enabled, having free speech, being able to influence government decisions, the choice, the ability to live in favorable conditions without having to strive for it. In so many African states, the system have failed, it makes it generally difficult to become an achiever, nothing is put in place, making life even more difficult than it should seem.
Having to face these situations, negates the concept of freedom which each and every citizen of the world in different places should uniquely enjoy. Freedom can be represented in the ability of one to actually build on a solid foundation.
Freedom is the ability to form one's path and pave their way with the necessary conditions or prerequisites provided to them. While freedom can be of the mind, it needs to be externally acquired. Freedom to me is having access or being opportune in different ways.
When the right to exposure and knowledge is acquired, there's the ability to be spoiled for choice. Although freedom is difficult to acquire, because most times, it's not willingly given. It's often the difference between people who are doing well and people who are not. The exposure which freedom brings helps to shape the outcome of the future.
I believe individually people should be able to trust themselves to do right, especially when expressing freedom isn't seen as a crime or a violation of a country's law. Freedom can mean many things, I however consider it as the ability to make decisions when one is provided with numerous choices.
