It's true... It's just an illusion, in terms of "rights".
"Rights" are "Privileges" that can be taken away at anytime.
Freedom is a state of mind.. It's the will to defy the rules and do what one feels is right in one's heart, even when "the law" forbids it.
Freedom is the no-fucks-given attitude about other people's opinions!
Freedom from, and freedom to.
In its purest form, it's a metaphysical state of spiritual consciousness
