Well, I will rather say freedom comes with some level of sacrifice instead of consequence, nothing in life is free, you have to kind of sacrifice some thing you have for something you don't have, freedom is very sweet but but it comes with the price or sacrifice of knowledge and wisdom, for you to be free, you have to be wise in all your dealings, else, you are not truly free, people who claim they are free and still fall in the hands of scammers havent sacrificed to get wisdom which will grant them true wisdom.
