Freedom

Out of the many different aspects in life, freedom is the most important. When a person isn’t controlled by something or someone else, he or she is a much happier and healthier being. That person is more well-rounded and passionate. Freedom is what causes most people to live their lives to the fullest and can inspire people to look for the purpose in life. Also, it is the main determiner of a nation’s greatness. When people are free to think and try new ideas, different inventions and scientific breakthroughs improving living standards are created. In a good way, freedom escalates a society upwards. Ultimately, it is the key ingredient to a good life and a desire for all. No one wants to be told what to do even if someone is “trying” to help out. Even worse, nobody should be under someone’s constant control. Nothing in life is ever learned, and, after a while, one becomes use to being controlled. An individual like this will become too dependent on whatever is controlling him or her and may never question anything or fight back. Unfortunately, one can see this in the world today. For some people, the aspect of power and control over other people’s lives may never go away. One can debate that a certain group of people are trying to have more control over everyone’s lives in the U.S. With whatever is happening, some people shouldn’t assume just because we are in America, we are safe from control freaks. They are still going to pop up randomly in political/ governmental world. What does everyone expect? It is not like power hungry people are going to become an engineer or something else. Obviously, leadership positions are going to be the stuff they are attracted to. Overall, freedom is good and important, but we always have to watch our back and make sure someone isn’t going to take it away.
