Absolute freedom is the state in which absolutely nothing can restrain a person from doing anything, whether it is an external force or themselves I suppose...

My personal view
Absolute freedom, I believe is to fulfill your desires without any limits, but as our desires are always influenced by external forces or reasons, so absolute freedom occurs where influence is non-existent which is a paradox itself as if there is no influence there would be no desires. Even if I am left on an island with no one around I am still not free of my needs as eating, it is not possible that I do not feel hungry for eternity, so I'm controlled by my irrational part that bounds my freedom.

Just because we cannot create an absolutely freedom to ourselves, that does not mean we have to exist and live within constricting bounds or with despotism.
