We always hear about freedom.  If you grew up in the USA, you were raised to believe that this is the land of the free. Everyone always wants to come to the US for several reasons and the thought of freedom being one of them.
Have you ever thought about whether you are really free?  Not only in the US but more so in life? Are we free people or is there a price for freedom?
I believe freedom exists but for a price. Whether you are a country trying to free yourself from another where the price of freedom is war and the lives lost fighting the war is the price paid. A spouse trying to end a failing marriage and the cost you endure is losing all your assets and income as the price you pay for your freedom.
I’m sure you get the point of what I mean and am rambling about.  Freedom at the end of the day is a great idea and achievement for many but freedom is very expensive.  There in lies the irony of the word…Freedom…but for a price!
