Is there such thing as absolute freedom?

It is more fun criticizing






Notwithstanding the assertion by philosopher Jean Paul Sarte on absolute freedom, this post believes and agrees with some some thoughts of others.


Freedom is not a being; it is the being of man-i.e. his nothingness of being. If we start by conceiving of man as a plenum, it is absurd to try and find in him afterwards moments or psychic regions in which he would be free. As weil look for emptiness in a container which one has filled beforehand up to the brim! Man can not be sometimes slave and sometimes free; he is wholly and forever free or he is not free at ail. Jean-Paul SARTRE.!

I have encountered several cases where men have wanted to be absolutely free:

    1.   Defiance of many citizens in USA to observe health protocols, and object to vaccine
    2.   Several lot buyers objecting to restrictions for construction on the plot, claiming that their
          ownership is absolute.

Nothing can be farther from the truth

We have the freedom to make  choice in life.  God gave us that right

But our actions are limited by the environment, the govt around us, the legalities.  As we have freedom, this involves the recognition have the same freedom and rights as we do.
