You know, some people like to be free not be controlled. You ask what is freedom. Is it to choose what you want to do or is it to know the truth? Is it a combination, say to decide from what you know as the truth?? There is an old saying, you are guilty because of what you know. So freedom can be equaled as choice from the truth you have. However, no created being can know all things so in a way, we are controlled to the degree of how much or what we can know.
So what is all these activism, protests in some part of the world. Isn't it the same old ways they did long ago, when one group of people say to another my God is greater than yours. Today's terminology is my truth is greater than yours.
