I think freedom is an illusion. We gave it away aeons ago, when we realised being truly free meant being completely responsible for our own actions, our own health, our own food, our own mistakes, our own choices: everything.

It is so easy to give up that responsibility to someone else, giving us the option to blame 'them' when things don't go the way we want them to, and allowing us the illusion of how we would do so much better if only the choice were ours; lack of freedom being our only leash preventing us from a perfect life.

A few of us notice this now and then - those of us who prefer to make their own decisions, learn from their own mistakes, and take care of their own futures. And, the occasional batty old broad who now and then has a moment of clarity...
