I agree with you, if we think ... is a huge limitation: each person has his own dreams, but the society influence us so much that we convince ourselves that we want the same things.
In reality we are freer to some poor people, if I think of Syria, I feel bad ... but we are not truly free.
I believe that freedom is the most dreamed, more expensive, more difficult, a conquest against the current, against society, against the powerful.
The person who is able to free himself often suffers a lot, because the people don’t understand, marginalises who don't think like them, only who is really strong continues to live in peace with itself.
It is very sad, but so goes the world.
I admire Chris because he was not afraid ... perhaps he sometimes was scared, but he knew that freedom has a very high price, and he fought until the end, unfortunately he had to pay the maximum price. Perhaps too.
In my opinion we can liberate ourselves but we have to look in depth because not all people can tolerate the weight to be individualists and rebels to chase their dreams. Nobody can prevent us to free ourselves from our "chains", the real limits are within us and they imprison our heart. For to be really free, we must change our mode of live, of think, ours priority.
