The Gap of Freedom

When I visited Vietnam in 2007, at the Lotus restaurant, as I stood there in the pond, a young lady told me that Vietnam did not have "freedom."  I keep thinking about the meaning of "freedom" and the context of what it means for the human family.  It can mean freedom in physical, spiritual, as well as mental, and the ability to seek God, Jesus Christ, and freedom.  Or whatever meaning of freedom for each person, or as a family or even a larger world of the human family, or country, etc.
