Is man free

Since we have been discussing the life of a modern man with reference to the poem, 'The Unknown Citizen', I would like to share a quote by a famous French philosopher.Jean Jacque Roussue said,
'Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains.'
Do you think we all are wearing invisible chains?
Can we try to free our minds? That is the only domain that according to me can not be bound.I believe we are letting others dictate us because it convenient to let others do the thinking.Being a zombie sheds a lot of burden off our shoulders.
An everyday example can be taken from your classroom itself. Some feel shy to exprees their ideas and present them in their written work.Some express themselves boldly.While others accept what others say.Without letting their minds do the exploration,they copy. Its rather easy.But has anyone realized its longterm consequences?
These were some of the questions I would like you all think about.
