For me it is state of mind (our view at the world, not learned - understood, but experienced, deep - and it is not always), to be here and now. Not to solve bullshits, a mess in my head, simply just enjoy the present and be grateful for the fact that I can be.
Not to do "bad" things, crime, just because, for example, there are laws, but just because I don't want to do it. With that also mergens a big responsibility - to deal with the aftermath... It is about consdering and thinking of the individual one.
What about your absolute freedom, guys?! :) I am curious, because it can give and open horizons to others here.
For someone it is also traveling, spending time with animals and good friends, not having to worry about the company, as such in what to say - honesty. Dream, and fulfill the dreams - BUT I could call it already relative freedom. Then what is your relative freedom? :)

Freedom is a jewel of this life, for all of people every one has right to take what for him no more to can live together in peace.
One of Urdu poet expressed the system of this world as like a factory where glass is made (shesha gari). He says: EVEN BREATHE CAREFULLY BECAUSE THE WORK OF THIS GLASS MAKING OF THE WORLD IS VERY DELICATE.
So my friend the absolute freedom is up to that limit where it does not break the glass.
Salem, do you mean not to let rise anarchy? Can you clarify? :)
self-entertainment? LOL
and I see, unexpectedly when you listen to only your heart... ;) (if teddy bear has any) :D
As to absolute freedom, it does not exist, unfortunately. broadly speaking, we can't do all the things we want. Otherwise, you would see naked people walking in the street with relative ease. Society, traditions, customs, religion etc. or in Freudian terminology the super ego, are there to supervise one's id. However, I feel free whenever I am myself. I do agree with you in saying that freedom, like other concepts, is a state of mind. Think free and and you will be free. Still, one can enjoy their freedom as long as it doesn't harm the other. Here I remember an Arabic saying which can be glossed as follows: your freedom ends where the freedom of others start. Thank you for the discussion Dani. It does provide some food for thought.
Masi, but I can see naked people walking in the streets with ease. :D Think about it! :)
And "your freedom ends where the freedom of others start" is not only Arabic saying, I think it is even in The Constitution where the "Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms" is (but not sure), do you have it in your country? Anyway good line, indeed! :) I appreciate you joined here!
Bob, you are right. It is another side - base of freedom. How otherwise the prisoners can survive in their cells? Sure, rhetorical question. Anyway, I know what you mean, everyone knows... :) And it is really admirable and hard to keep ourselves in present and live now on hundred percent, but not too impossible. :) Thanks.
