Yup... I speak my mind. Inappropriately sometimes but I'm not going to get put in prison and I generally manage not to be offensive.
Equally, I'm happy to pull people up for their outspoken stuff if I think they're wrong. Not sure how that works though since they too are entitled to free speech.  I guess I don't have to agree with it.  |

"Enough money to answer to nobody Would that alone mean freedom to you? "
I think so....and obviously the freedom to travel which I pretty much have anyway with an Irish passport.
A "go fuck yourself fund" essentially if ever needed.
What would I be missing? |

I dont know if you would miss anything - I was just curious.
For me it would probably be a bit more than that and I would include freedom of my family, friends etc, my freedom of any illness or misfortune.... my freedom to do the work I enjoy (irrespective of money)...  |

They are more my like wishes on Aladdin's lamp.
Money is the great enabler...
Access to the best food, time to exercise and healthcare as needed = health
Access to education and other things to help family and friends as needed
Time to work on hobbies and interests = contentment & self actualisation
Never having to smile to myself and not laugh in their face when someone says "going forward" or "revert back to you" = Priceless |

"These are notions of 'positive' and 'negative' freedom; freedom to, versus freedom from. "
Indeed - freedom from debts, ill health, a work place you don't like, neighbours you don't get on with to name but a few...  |

The greatest feeling of freedom I experienced was when I went away to college at 18. I was in charge of my own fate and had a great couple of years, I made the biggest mistakes I have made so far in my life but the fact that I had the freedom to make them was wonderfully liberating and has shaped my life. |

I completely get that - I remember that sense of freedom and it felt as if nothing could stop me. Then I grew up |
