No because Wanting makes us prisoners.

Freedom is a state of mind, your only truly free when you're sleeping, otherwise it's a non-entity

Semantics. We are all able to be what we want. We can all choose to be what we want.
Freedom may well be something else.

I believe we are free to choose...
not everyone is wanting something David,, and perhaps only if you see that as a bad thing then it shall imprison you

Maybe so but wanting is surely more entrapping that just being.

yes for sure and thus people are free to choose to just be...

Perhaps the choosing helps to break the current entrapment. For sure, it leads to another, but one we knowingly make.
As soon as we decide what we want to be, we choose your trap.
The freedom is in the choice, in the movement.
So perhaps the point is "we are all free to choose"
Or simply " we are all free", and not tie it down any further

I was just thinking how funny it would be if when we died we discovered that we were puppets or a thought in the mind of the universe.
I tell myself that the only freedom is freedom of the mind. but that is not true either.
All of my thoughts are based upon concepts and constructs of those who have gone before me, so where is the freedom there I ask myself.
You have the freedom to think but your thoughts are just a compilation of past down belief systems.

So what makes one thought resonate with you, whereas another passes you by completely?
