Lonliness vs Freedom

Think Like A Man was an awesome movie! I was quite impressed with the acting, the plot, and even the comedy scenes. The movie seriously gave me a jolting epiphany; after one character stated that he could, "give up a little of this so-called freedom in order to be held, kissed, loved, and have someone to go home to."

I've never had a problem understanding the power of being with someone and loving the feeling you get when you're with a person you love and coming home to them, but it is even more powerful to come to the conclusion that you can give up the freedom to go where you want to go or do what you want to do; you can give this all up so that you can be with the one you love.

I can't promise you when you're in a relationship you won't have moments of loneliness, but I will tell you this it can help you get over the illusion of freedom.

The illusion of freedom.

Think Like A Man was a good movie. I don't know what the illusion of freedom means. What did you mean by that?

I want to be free because I am so tired of all the things that I have to do. I am so sick of wondering if I can be happy with the person that I am with. Things don't play out like they did in the movie.
