We Are "Free" When We Have Chosen Well

Ancient philosophers and the early church fathers understood true “freedom” to be the “liberty to realize one’s proper ‘essence’ and so flourish as the kind of being one was.” Or we might say the freedom to live righteously. So, freedom had to do with more than CHOICES, it had to do with HOW we live. “This means we are free not merely because we can choose, but only when we have chosen well.”
