For these reasons‚ and a whole lot more‚ freedom is a very important thing to have in your life. Our lives would be different without freedom. I think it would probably be terrible without freedom. I couldn’t even picture the world without it. It would seem as if we were prisoners in a jail if other people told us where to live‚ what to read or what to believe.
