If I were ill in bed, or confined to a wheelchair, I would have far fewer options available to me. The healthier I am, the more positive options I have. Freedom is health. Freedom and Intelligence Intelligence can be described as thinking skills. The better I think, the more options I have, the more effectively I act.
Freedom is intelligence.
When at the effect of involuntary emotions I can't think clearly. I tend to act irrationally. Uncontrolled emotions reduce the positive options available to me. Freedom is emotional control. Self-doubt can paralyze me, preventing action.
