We humans have the awesome power of freedom but sometimes we get a little bit confused by the word and its several meanings and we feel that we're capable of doing anything under any circumstance, and yeah we are! But first we need to take responsibility of our freedom and learn how to use it, that’s why Savater says that freedom can be an award or a burden, so then our whole life won’t turn into a complete chaos.
I think, we need to learn the concept of “voluntary” and apply it, so we can be sure that is US the once who choose what we want, and not our friends, family, etc. And learn that out freedom is ours and therefore we can’t let anyone else mess with it. Specially us that we’re growing, we’ve learned what our parents or teachers had told us, but I think that is time to learn and decide for ourselves, and think deeper of what freedom can be and can do for us if we know how to use it.
Also, respect and freedom are linked for us as a society; since everyone in this world is different, not all of us have the same ideas and it’s very easy to agree or disagree and sometimes even turn a little bit aggressive and the consequences can turn into a big monster, so in order to prevent all this consequences that even innocent people could suffer, we should live respecting each other, make use of our freedom by making our point but not by making a whole scene.

Finally, Freedom is a very important characteristic that we humans have and the only way to enjoy it is to make sure we really know how to use it as a good to ourselves.
Hello gaby, I think that only when some people lose his/her freedom is when they realize how worthy it is. Only when we are aware of how free we are and how we can choose things is when we see that freedom is one of the best gifts we have. and whats more, its free. But as you say we must use a RESPONSIBLE use of this freedom so we dont get people harmed or offended in any way

Hey Gaby,,,, I liked a lot your blog.. nice picture. Well I think that today people don't pay to much attention to the consequences of our actions and the things that we want to do. We can see the consequcnes right know of the freedom of action of many people. An example is the Financial Crisis we are living today. I really get what you are talking about.. I really like the part when you talk about that we are all different, and that's right. Many people have different ideas and opinion and they have the freedom to choose what to do..

Gaby, I agree with you, we have freedom of what we want and what we do, and like you said, it is very important to take the responsibility in the actions. Like you said, we need to decide and think by ourselves that is one way among many every day where we can make use of our freedom.
