Freedom vs. Oppression

Freedom refers to individuals having the ability to make choices about their lives, expressing themselves, and pursuing their goals without unnecessary restrictions. Oppression, by contrast, involves exerting control or authority that unjustly limits or denies these freedoms, often through unfair laws, social inequalities, or abuse of power. While freedom allows personal growth and diversity, oppression suppresses individuality and perpetuates suffering. The balance between these concepts shapes how societies function—aiming for environments where personal liberties are protected, and undue domination or discrimination is minimized.
