Freedom cannot be unlimited or absolute give reason
Answers
Freedom is not absolute for the following reasons:
Reality is a result of a continuous chains of reasons and conclusion. The present cannot exist without precursor events which lead to the present day. The future, too, cannot exist without the present, because the present day designs possible events and outcomes later on. One cannot exist outside of these chronological and historical chains.
There is always dependency, whether that dependency is necessary or a mere luxury. We humans cannot exist in outer space for long without a sustainable amount of air, cannot exist for long in a desert dune without food and water, cannot protect ourselves from dangers without planning and without tools of protection and intimidation - everywhere we exist there are circumstances we should or need to consider in the sake of our survival.
There are things which are out of our control which could dictate our lives whether by consent or by lack of it. If the local government raises its demand for taxes and it’s efficient in enforcement, we better obey its command or else we might suffer from punishment that could limit our lives even more, such as a sentence is prison. If the whether is very cold we better wear warm clothes when getting out or else we might get sick and our health might be decreased, and with it our life expectancy (and, thus, the various possibilities for ourselves in life). Freedom is not absolute because there are things greater than us that we’re unable to control or at least to fully resist.
As I said freedom is also not absolute because of luxuries and other unnecessities. Allow me to explain: a constant consumption of unnecessities can lead to addiction, and addiction means dependency, and dependency means limit of freedom. In other words, by our decision (or by other factors such as peer pressure) to consume unnecessities, from non-psychiatric drugs to activities such as shopping, we mostly by consent, limit our independence from addictions. In other words we are tempted to limit our liberty even further than it already is, for benefits such as joy, confidence, being acceptable by your peers, escape from problems and so forth.
Even if freedom is not absolute, there is still freedom, with the biggest freedom being our choice of perspective. No matter where we are and what is our state of being in the present, we as individuals can still alter our state of mind and choose different perspectives and different thoughts in every time we wish too. Thus, the freedom of thought is probably the biggest freedom that is close to absolution, with its sole limiter being death.
