Freedom is an existential concern that is rooted in the fundamental groundlessness of humanity and indicates the mind's awareness of responsibility. In the thought of Irvin Yalom, belief in freedom is the initial and important condition for moving on the path of individual life transformation. He considers an authentic life meaningful when a person accepts freedom and responsibility for "herself" and for what he/she has done or has not done. Man is responsible for identifying, choosing, and determining the path of his life's evolution; however, in his thought, man, on the one hand, does not have a predetermined pattern or path, and on the other hand, he feels a kind of mission to forge the seemingly discovered meaning in himself. Distinguishing between freedom, liberation, and choice, Allama Jafari considers freedom as a thing has certain conditions. He believes that reasonable and sublime freedom, supervision and domination of a person over the two positive and negative poles of work- based on the two conditions: "suitability" and "aiming for goodness,"- can bring human action into the realm of lofty values, which is the status of prophets and divine saints, and freedom in a such circumstances and degree can bring to the meaningfulness of life
