What is freedom? There are countries that claim that they have freedom for their citizen but they really have freedom? My answer is no. There is no freedom anywhere no there will never be freedom for no one. The law of religion, the law of the government and the law if society will always be an impediment for “free”.

Since the old days we followed the law of religion. No matter what you believed in, there are rules to follow for humans to go to heaven or to be in peace with God and themselves. The ten commandments are main laws for religion. And no matter what religion you are, you were raised to follow them or at least the majority of them without noticing. I think human race will always believe in something spiritual bigger than us and will follow what they think or believe is the answer for them to be forgiven for the actions that are believed to be wrong.

The law of government is the one that humans created to have more control of the people’s actions. As little as speeding and as big as causing hurt to another human. Rules that we will still have to follow. The question is that how bad are the government laws or how good they are? They are good because can control people less things compared of what they are capable of doing. For example killing, humans are capable of killing and if they know they will get in trouble by doing it, they will think twice about it. The system is where everything gets messed up in my opinion. The system can ruins a person life by allowing them getting hurt without doing anything or allowing an innocent person get blame for something they did not do or the opposite. The control of the government will always be there and might only get worst.

The society expectations of how a person should talk, dress, or act will always be a negative effect for our freedom. How people think about us will always negative for our person. “ Dance like nobody is watching” is great quote for this reason. We are never our true selves when people are around us for the feeling of judgement. The saddest part of the humankind is that we can’t accept the differences every individual has. We always have to think of superior or inferior to other people.

God, government and ourselves will be our free for ever. No matter what we do to change it there will always be somethings that prohibit us to be free in our own. Free has never existed and will never exist for the humankind.
