Freedom isn't relative to others.

Not sure what you mean -- it's hard to think of a concept less relative than this thing called "freedom", actually. Especially as people (particularly across different cultures) tend to have wildly different conceptions as to what "freedom" really is.

I was trying to say that just because you're the best doesn't mean you're "free".

It is important, since governments often use other countries' policies to excuse or justify their own.
Our concept of what "freedom" means is relative.
