When you ask them about what they are longing for they simply say "freedom". However‚ the term is controversial because freedom is not something that can talk and walk. You can not lay it to physical measures. Sometimes defining freedom depends on the age when it is sough. Sometimes it depends on the conception of the seeker or even needs
