text: you can only be free…when you have nothing to lose.? is this what is like in europe and south america? i used to live in buenos aires argentina and felt all relax and good. when i went to europe, the same thing. even though people has nothing there, life is so much fun there. but i still think america is the best country in the world to live. but again, why do i feel this in europe and south america??? everywhere in the word you'll find people who live for their social status and/or possessions yet they feel free, and there are people who have nothing, yet feel enslaved.  i believe that freedom is a feeling which comes from the heart, regardless the external factors.  for example, when you meditate or dream you are free--anywhere in the world.
