Yes.

Then again, sometimes you are the windshield, sometimes the bug. <g>

other names for this situation in which you find yourself than "free"

Without staking a position in the dialog which led to this observation, I'd like to say I'm fascinated with the idea that:

a) Freedom may be an illusion, much like security
b) The query "When is Freedom a Prison?"

I ask google the latter on occasion, and usually end up with quite a bit of relgion/prison stuff. Understanding that the body can be imprisoned while the mind/soul wanders free, I find google's responsive unsatisfying.

IMO, Freedom becomes a Prison when:

The desire to be free precludes having those things which make life worth living.

I suspect someone somewhere has written a poem that elaborates on the hidden corners & crevices found within the unmitigated quest for freedom.

Uhh, back to your regular programming....
