> No one is ever truly free

Freedom exists in the mind. Even the most oppressed enslaved people can still be free in their own head.

On the other hand, I use some proprietary non-free software, so I've traded my freedom to use certain technology, but other than that, I consider myself as always being free no matter what the circumstances. All the old sages have said something similar: 'You are enslaved the moment you think you are'
