I may break the scale in to two. One scaling 1-5 and the other 5-10. Now I may fix my status at 5 in both scales. Why?
Well, jokes apart. I meant, how can you measure the likert point of freedom in a single scale of ten while freedom is itself a web formed by nexus of several contributing factors affecting two different types of conciousness?
First scale stands for freedom of mind. Given 1 is completely constrained, In a scale of 1-5, 5 ought to be completely free. So, I am completly free by mind. I can explore my world of fantasy, can conjure up futures, can try to kick out lingering past where dreams I dreamt ever were close to topple and so on... still it may be influenced by 'sensual candies' but I am out of that.
Second scale stands for freedom in solidarity of 'ME' being a part of global human community. Given 10 is completely free, In a scale of 5-10, 5 ought to be completely constrained. And yes, I'm(applies to everyone) not free as considered with material interactions. How much you purpote that 'everyone should be happy for what they are', I bet you that it cant happend even in wildest of dreams. It's just a fallacy. Human nature is to continuously classify, and to survive I had to modify according to their perspective! Thats vitality of being a Homo sapien.
