That one can dream all he wants but he is freer if he is unchained. We are freer psychologically if we have an abundance of knowledge that allows us realize more choices, but freer also if we are able to act on those choices. We are freer if we have the power to fly to Rome, Paris or a South Sea island if we please, and we have this power if we have an abundance of money. Collectively we are freer if we live in a democracy, because collectively we are choosing who we want to represent us in government. We are freer if we have a greater power over conditions called fear and want.
Freedom is power over conditions. .
