Spirited, and as if tireless, for long, souls had gambled lives and limbs trying to dive into freedom's seemingly abyssal crimson depth-of-no-return seeking to fathom it. And even though as if they were holding on to only a loosely moored dive-line-of-hope as their guide, but seemingly at last, a flash of light appeared all of a sudden amidst the abyss' darkness.
Alas, with all the countless valor sacrificed, the bittersweet reward to savor now is the finding of a bargain of the kind of freedom that to this world is highly regarded and appreciated.
But the greater challenge on freedom is not in the hardships of the struggles that people have gone through (or must go through) to achieve freedom. It is in how people ought to live their lives within the kind of freedom they have achieved (or will achieve).

True Freedom: O how priceless you really are that it costs the Savior's holy blood to be shed for your sake.

[Galatians 5:13-14] You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
[John 8:36] So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
