Not as free as we can be.

There are many things that hold us back and tie us down.

There will always be limits and constraints.

No, we are not. We have built our own mental shackles of caste, creed, faith, gender, wealth, nation and son around. We must free ourselves from it by awareness and acting in accordance with it in daily life.

We all have free will. We can only allow something or someone to put us in a prison. How many physically imprisoned people have said that their body may not be free but their minds are their own.

No.

You aren't. There are always limits to everything you do, everything you choose, and everything you desire. Those limits are not of your own making. Thus, you are not free, but limited by something greater than yourself. We all are.

We are free to make our own choices and live by the consequences of those choices.    If we want to stay in a job that goes nowhere, that's our choice.  If we want to risk all on a business start up, that's our choice, too.

The thing is OUR individual  freedom stops where the freedom of the masses begin.   We are not free to harm others.   We are free to help them, though, so long as they don't object to being helped.

No, we are not. We are tied down by debt, religion, laws that strip us of our basic rights, and the brainwashing media.

not really,but in our mind and soul, we make believe that we are free because the politicians tells us that we have free speech,and we could do most any thing and get away with it..which ever way you turn,there is religion,politians,people,priest.pundits... fences that say there are rules,and you are not free..but in our minds we are free..

The question itself indirectly answers, that we are not.

When one will become free?

When you can come out of the clutches of desires, illusions and frustration, you can become free.

'Free World'?

8 See my answer to the question about order out of chaos asked immediately after yours. Whatever we do we cannot go beyond the basic parameters that determine the actions of our universe. Beyond that are many limiting and enhancing factors relating to freedom. It really boils down to what you want to do with the circumstances you find.

We are only free if we have no laws(excluding killing and stealling).

so no we are not.

Freedom is a concept that is totally unique to America. But in a sense of being totally free, we will never be. Because of our differences and the human fear of things that are different from us or our community, we the free world will never quite be a free world.
