Indeed, freedom for speaks to purpose, order, meaning. Conversely, freedom from speaks to discontent, rebellion, despair.

Sometimes I think that what the "freedom from" attitude really boils down to is "alienated man" desires to be free of the human condition.... Why be a man, when one putatively can be a god? Of course, it's necessary to "bump off" the real God first.... Which is really quite impossible. :^)

Thank you so very much, dearest sister in Christ, for your wonderful insights!

The truth is; "You gotta serve someone"(Bob Dylan)..
Even if that service is to yourself or physical body..
Freedom may be over rated..

Service(sacrifice) to God, a Neigbor or Yourself is not freedom..
If you choose one of three, and deny the others its still service..
I must re-think freedom.. It might not be possible for a human to be FREE..

At least at this time...
as you said, being free of the human condition may be the only way..
Of course you can grow to appreciate service as a good thing.. and freedom as not so good..
