Freedom

Jean Paul Sartre once declared: 'Man is Freedom'. I thought of it for a long time and what this really implied. How can I be free when everything around me in fact defines me? From children, we are defined by society. This is particularly the case in our time. Society systematically, overtly and covertly moulds us. Hence where is our feedom? What is freedom? Are we free, and if so, how free are we?
