Are nightingales, moles, or wild dingoes free? No, because none of them are aware of their freedom. Animals are controlled by their species’ instincts, not subjective will. In this sense, not every human being is truly free. We are constantly dragged into the rut of semi-conscious existence, where one plot stubbornly repeats itself like in the movie "Groundhog Day." If you get distracted for a moment, bam, you're already being carried away by the flow of events towards a roaring waterfall. And attempts to get to the shore take a lot of time and effort.
The cruel irony is that at first, you start to notice the pitfalls, but you cannot avoid them, which turns such knowledge into torture. You get frustrated, analyze, and "solve" the problem again and again. Over time, or rather, with experience, you learn to read the trap beforehand.
The world no longer looks as gentle and friendly as it once did. Therefore, you must make considerable effort to ensure that your microcosm maintains reason, agreement and order. This means that our freedom is never free. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance," said Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the United States.
