Having some time to reflect on the past year.

I am starting to understand the true meaning of freedom, in three respects.
The American meaning, the Biblical meaning, and the upcoming, more rapidly accepted definition.

American: The freedom to have a prosperous life for yourself and your family, to burden and sweat, to cry and laugh, and be happy at the end of the day that you can provide and prosper in your work and familial lives.

Biblical: To be free of the stain of sin that weighs us all down, to live in Jesus Christ and be born again, fresh, renewed, to live burden free, to have a calling that you alone have the freedom to accept. To work for a singular purpose, that is to Glorify the God that is our Creator.

And there is a third definition that many are adopting rather quickly is various forms to suit ideologies and political agendas, which is a smooth brained definition of freedom.
To be able to do anything and everything one wishes without the burden of negative ramifications, "For the greater good". To harm, steal, burden others without reprise. A self-centered freedom that makes it so the ones that righteously burden for their families in a Godly manner are the criminals for trying to stop evil actions.
