What is personal freedom for a human being?

Freedom pops its head up in threads every so often. There is a lot of talk about it in general but what is it to you as a human being - not a member of a society.

For me true freedom for a human being is

-to be able to do what makes me happy.
-to be in the company of other free people.
-to not be forced do what I feel should not be done.
-to be free in body and be able to travel to anywhere I want when I want.
-to be able to be think what I want and fear no reprisals.
- to be able to help those I want.
- to be free from those who wish to take away my personal freedoms.

and the true test in my mind:
-to wake up in the morning and be able to change everything about my life to make it better, if I determine that is what I want.


Anyone else with ideas on what human freedom is?
