No matter what point in time or what place man is born he is born free. Restricted only by his environment and the physical limitations set upon his body he has an unlimited amount of choices he may make. Man can not choose his parents, what he will look like, or what he will be gifted in as he has no consent in these decisions. Without government or society man is free to do what he wants and will accept the consequences of his actions as he has no alternative to avoid them. Choices are everywhere, and their is no escaping them, to not choose is still a choice. A free man may run when he likes, eat when and what he likes, sleep when he likes, and even do whatever he may want with his time. Their are consequences for his actions which are inevitible but that is the nature of his existence.
Where the Free Man meets culture.
When a free man exists alone he may do whatever he pleases, but when this man exists with other man his freedoms become slightly restricted. If one man who has unlimited freedoms crosses paths with another man with unlimited freedoms than each man can do whatever he pleases even if it violates the other mans freedom. This is where society is created, groups of free men join together and give up some of their freedoms for the betterment of the whole group. Typically they compromise on rights that violate others like murder, stealing, and sharing community items like tribal man shared food.
The natural free man gives up certain liberties when joining a society for the betterment of that society. In a free society every free man is equal and restricted equally.
