No shackles brother, but rather the potential to do what you will to do.

Taken from the wikipedia on Plato's Phaedrus:
>A soul is always in motion and as a self-mover has no beginning. A self-mover is itself the source of everything else that moves. So, by the same token, it cannot be destroyed. Bodily objects moved from the outside have no soul, while those that move from within have a soul. Moving from within, all souls are self-movers, and hence their immortality is necessary.

Free will(self-mover) in being(Instance, as a descriptor of being), which reminds me of something Nietzsche said that should explain it(which is funny that almost all of Nietzsche's critiques fall away for late Plato):

>Free will appears unfettered, deliberate; it is boundlessly free, wandering, the spirit. But fate is a necessity; unless we believe that world history is a dream-error, the unspeakable sorrows of mankind fantasies, and that we ourselves are but the toys of our fantasies. Fate is the boundless force of opposition against free will. Free will without fate is just as unthinkable as spirit without reality, good without evil. Only antithesis creates the quality.
