Simplified Meaning:

Freedom means being able to do what you want in life. Imagine you love painting and this is what you want to spend your time doing. If you have the freedom to paint whenever you want, you are experiencing liberty. Another example is choosing your own job. If you can pick a job that you really like instead of being forced into one you dislike, that’s also freedom. This idea is important because it means living the life that makes you happy, without others controlling your choices. When people follow their dreams and desires, they feel more fulfilled and content. Everyone deserves to have the chance to pursue what brings them joy and satisfaction in their life.
