if one conquers their mind (desires, mental patterns/conditioning) then perhaps they are considered free, however this seems rather difficult and an illusory concept; humans are contained by limits of biology. an essential question is why freedom is desired (although seeming obvious), perhaps this desire hinders true freedom? (again subjective)

freedom is desired because we are all more or less slaves to a degree. same with happiness. Everyone chases it because the default human position is misery.
