"Free" feels different at different times in our lives. Earlier in life it's "free from" parents, school, rules, pressure, various kinds of self-restraint.

Later in life it's "free to" do more things [wife, mortgage, car].

There seems to be an ongoing movement between adventure and security. Each provides its own kind of freedom and its own kind of slavery.
