Freedom?
A leaf on a tree is free to wave and move with the wind but the it is always stuck with the tree, it can't leave the tree. A definite fate of leaving would be die or dried.
We as human beings are also being restrained by our limiting factors. it could be financial, mobility, family, health etc etc. However, our options are wider as compared to the leaves. We can choose to sacrifice one for another eg. one might sacrifice his time for financial freedom(more pay), or one might sacrifice his financial freedom for his freedom of movement(time)...
What kind of freedom and what degree of freedom are you desired for? How much are u willing to sacrifice?
