Free:
A concept.
Explanation/Reason:
Everything is a concept until it becomes a reality. Every action is the effect of a cause and/or every action is the cause of an eventual effect. This word us usually used to give a person the perception that something is taking place that will not affect something else in an adverse manner.
For example, something can be said to be "free of charge" when in actuality it is costing someone something...probably the person who thinks it is "free of charge". Or, people are said to be "free" from something or someone but people are never "free" from anything nor anyone. All people are connected and/or all things are connected to all people.

I think it would be better to say:
Free:
Something that doesn't exist.
Since a concept doesn't exist until it is put into practice.
I could be incorrect. |

How can something not exist?

It's based upon the criteria/definition you give it.
Like the word "Justice."
The guarantee that no person is mistreated and the guarantee the person that the person in need of the most help gets the most help.
Justice (by definition) is something that doesn't exist, based upon the criteria I gave it, with respects to what does exist (mistreatment).
But I could be incorrect. |

I could be incorrect but if it is "something" it must exist. In order for it not to exist it must be "nothing". I'll re-word it a little for clarity.

In other words, freedom exits as a concept, similar to the way in which Justice exits only as a concept.

I think that would depend on how one defines the word "something" and how one defines the word "exist."

Using that logic...I suspect there are no words, even in this response, that are understood so why respond to it? Why respond to any post unless you ask what each word being used by someone else means when they use it?
There is a quote in the back of the codebook that says...
Nothing has 'meaning' unless it has 'meaning' - if you get what I mean.

I wouldn't suggest doing that...
But when a person (for example) states something like this:
| Quote: |
| I could be incorrect but if it is "something" it must exist. |
The question that pops into my mind is...
| mind wrote: |
| Is that true? |
Followed by:
| mind wrote: |
| How does one define the word "something?" |
Followed by:
| mind wrote: |
| Is a word something? |
| mind wrote: |
| Is a concept something? |
Now... I ain't trying to have a debate in here....
But, it is my understanding that in the logical process of gaining knowledge, it is necessary to ask question and seek answers by asking questions.
But I could be incorrect.
I'm still learning. |

True, but "over-doing it" is a possibility.
I suggest that once you come to understand something, STOP.
Then, continue learning.
