Freedom is an illusion created by those in power. Yes, it is a line from the Matrix but it is true. We are not free to choose, to think, to be. We have all been conditioned to believe certain things and to accept our lives without questioning. Our governments want us to keep our mouths shut, breed and pay our taxes. Don't rock the boat will you! Our freedom to think is the most sacred right of all yet it has been taken from us in insidious ways, not just by our governments but by religion (although the mental slavery is far more overt in this case) and also by science. Our potential as a species far outweighs anything we have accomplished (or anything we can objectively measure) but as long as we remain confined in a world where we are constantly told we have physical, mental, spiritual and social limitations and we are brainwashed into believing we are not successful unless we are popular and have lots of material possessions, we will never be free.
