Happiness, Attention, and Freedom
- fexl 15y agoWhile it's true that "[some] identify freedom with license, the freedom to act on impulse", I never have. I simply define freedom as the absence of force or its immediate threat. That's always a good place to start, but as the author rightly observes, it takes discipline to use freedom effectively.
- mindblink 15y agoHey, fexl. I'm the author of the post. Thanks for the comment. Yeah, your comments reminds me of one of my Humanities Professors' assertions --that Western Philosophy for the past 500 years has been a dialogue and refinement of the definition of freedom.
