Unless you have been unfree, it's difficult to understand what it does mean to become free.
-- Archbishop Desmond Tutu
One of the things that God teaches us through living this life is the glorious power that forgiveness contributes to this idea of freedom. And, I suspect, that I can only offer forgiveness when I realize how much I need it. Is this part of what it means to be an 'eagle' (see transcript) at Tutu describes it? I believe he draws this image from Isaiah 40:31.
