When asked the question, which is more important, freedom or survival, the answer is simple. It is freedom because without freedom you are not really alive. Without freedom it makes it harder to truly enjoy life and makes it harder to find a reason to live. The state of New Hampshire even had a saying that said “Live Free or Die”. With freedom you have the ability to have self-determination. Without freedom you may still be alive but you do not have the ability to determine things for yourself. I know that freedom is especially important to me. Without it I wouldn’t be able to make my own decisions for myself or have my own identity. My freedom gives me the ability to vote for who I want, say what I want, or be who I want to be. Another famous quote is “Give me liberty or give me death” by Patrick Henry. He said this when the colonies were on the verge of war against England and fighting for their freedom. I know that I, as well as many other Americans, am willing to fight for my freedom and rights. Another reason that freedom is more important is that without freedom your likelihood of surviving long is not so great. You are more likely to live a more healthy and satisfying life with freedom than you are with just surviving.
