The word freedom has a powerful emotive force. It is by no means a neutral term and has been consistently used to defend a verity of political and social conditions of life.
The word has two parts in its formation,” Free" and "doom". The word free originally meant beloved usually used in relation to a friend. With later developments to the language it came to evolve in to its present day meaning, incorporating the idea that one who is a beloved is a friend, free of bondage. The word "doom" originally meant of a considered judgment in contrast to its modern day inte
rpretation of something unpleasant or harsh in judgment. Connecting the two words, freedom simply means a state where considered judgment can be made without bondage.

Freedom is a condition or a state that seems to be worthy and noble. Yet freedom like all good things is essentially something internal. It begins within us and transcends to the outer most spares of the universe through our deeds, words and thoughts. These self determined thoughts, words and deeds or lack of it has the power to decide our destiny.
