People are born free with unlimited potential and possibilities. We have the freedom of thought, choice, and action.
On the other hand, our environment undoubtedly has an impact on us. Family, friends, the culture we grow up in, the political and social climate - all of this can shape our personality, values, and behavior.
We can surround ourselves with people who support our freedom and creativity. We can seek out information and experiences that broaden our horizons and give us new perspectives. We can learn to think critically and question what is imposed on us.
Ultimately, it is up to us how much freedom we allow ourselves to have.
