How much Freedom?

[ZenitYerkes]

As HNM pointed out, one thing is having freedom, another thing is knowing what to do with it.

If you have freedom but you yourself can't come up with projects of your own, then you need someone make that for you.

Which in my opinion, is sad.

And you also mix up two things -personal limitations made up by oneself, for the sake of one's own happiness and health (like having a sense of responsibility, and worrying about the things you care about and love); the imposed limitations coming from your own nature (can't fly or see through walls); and also social ones, like culture, peer pressure (fashions, group acceptance or rejection,...), authority and coercion.

We are limited. I can't deny that.

But we aren't enslaved to the environment either -and from what you write, I feel you fear using that freedom left and you have to let others set the goals for your life.

EDIT -How much freedom? As much as we desire to live with. Heck, it's your life! It's different for each of us.
