*Only when man loses everything he becomes actually free. Freedom is about letting go.*
Freedom denotes the possibility to act as one desires without suffering negative consequences. The opposite of freedom is [slavery](slavery.md). Clearly the word *freedom* is so vague, general and [culturally](culture.md) significant that whole libraries could be filled up to the roof only with books exploring this single concept. Aiming to describe what the word means in general we could say freedom is the size of the set of options an entity has available to freely choose from at given moment: the fewer option there are, the less freedom it has. Very important in this is to realize that options which are formally available but [de facto](de_facto.md) excluded must be treated as unavailable as long as we're interested in REAL freedom, as opposed to just "freedom on paper", i.e. if for example one has the legal right ("freedom") to criticize a mafia boss but the option is de facto excluded because doing so will lead to one being killed by mafia, there is no REAL freedom to criticize the mafia boss -- the freedom is only illusory.

[Freedom](freedom.md) is an essential value of [less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md) which aims to increase happiness of all life: a living being having many choices can choose the one it really likes, as opposed to an enslaved being which [has to do](work.md) a thing it most likely dislikes.
