Freedom?

What is 'freedom'? Of course, for everybody this is different. Freedom has always been important to me:
was this when I was single?
was this when I was a kid?
was this yesterday?
will this be tomorrow?
was this when I was in Egypt's desert in the middle of nowhere?
is this whenever I am (scuba) diving?
is this when I am driving my car (1976 Citroën Dyane)?
... I could/can never describe it... However, when listening to an old song from Janis Joplin a few weeks ago, she sang: "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose" (Janis Joplin in ‘me and Bobby McGee’ (1971)). That is an interesting way of saying it!
