"you know freedom exists in a school book..."

a statement like this would urge you to rethink if you have ever been familiar with the idea. the idea of freedom that is. For one we are inescapably tied down by the physical laws that govern you me and everything in between. The notion of absolutism can thus be micturated upon without much ado.
so what is this freedom everyone is after. what happens when you choose to do certain things as opposed to others. Basically we are only altering the parameters that bind us. so it would seem freedom lies in the choice. the choice to choose what binds.
would that then imply that inaction is the greatest form of freedom? or that you could only be limitlessly free in thought?
