Freedom of mind is the real freedom. A person whose mind is not free though he may not be in chains, is a slave, not a free man. One whose mind is not free, though he may not be in prison, is a prisoner and not a free man. One whose mind is not free though alive, is no better than dead. Freedom of mind is the proof of one's existence. B.R. Ambedkar
About This Quote

The quote above by Nelson Mandela makes a strong point. Free will is a very important thing to have in life, but it is also not something that can be taken lightly. Freedom of mind demonstrates that a person has the ability to make choices and decisions for themselves. These choices and decisions make up a person’s personality and how they interact with other people. In other words, freedom of mind is the cornerstone of any good relationship.
