This document discusses the concept of authentic freedom. It begins by asking a series of yes or no questions. It then defines authentic freedom as doing what is good and promoting the well-being of others, as this allows one to become truly free, whereas doing whatever one wants does not. Authentic freedom is found in truth, not prejudice or ignorance. While freedom is a natural right, it is also of divine origin - God created humans with free will. True freedom requires being of, for, and with God, bearing in mind humanity's equality. Authentic freedom can be limited internally by things like fear and ignorance, or externally by oppression and injustice.
