Freedom or Survival

Which is more important? Freedom or Survival?

I think that freedom is more important than survival because with freedom comes happiness and to be happy and have freedom will lead to a great life. But, if you find a way to survive that doesn’t mean you will always be happy. You might be surviving but be homeless and have nobody in your life. I think that on some levels they are both equally important but I would have to say that Freedom would overrule survival. There are a number of different ways you can relate freedom to survival. Here are the definitions to freedom and survival. Freedom-the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Survival- is the state or fact of continuing to live or exist, typically in spite of an accident, ordeal, or difficult circumstances.

I think that having freedom in your life makes you survive. Freedom gives you the choice to do whatever you want whenever you want. I think that freedom can sometimes be a bad thing for people. For example, if someone takes their freedom as an advantage they might end up doing something bad or hurting others. Freedom gives you the right to live your life and choose what you want to do with your life. As a slave, you did not have freedom but you had survival. You were still living but were captured in someone else’s freedom. I think that people will take advantage of their freedom but once they ruin it, they loose it. I can think of a million ways I have freedom right now. But one way is how my parents give me freedom to go places on the weekends but have a curfew at 11. You still have the freedom to do what you want until that time, but once you break that curfew you might not have any more freedom on the weekends. Freedom can mean a lot of things. It can mean the smallest things but it can also mean so much more.

Survival is a great thing if you make it what you want it to be. Many people in this world are very happy but the rest aren’t. Survival is hard for people especially if they don’t have money. Not having enough money to live on right now is the problem for people. Jobs don’t pay enough and people can’t keep up with their bills whether it’s for a house, car, business or just for food. It is hard to survive if you are in this situation. And, if you are in this situation it is hard to be happy and content. I think that people can choose the way they feel about living if they really take time to think about what they want. If you have the freedom to do anything than you have the freedom to survive.

Even though survival is a key fact, you still need to have freedom in your life to survive.
