Discipline in my opinion, is basically knowing what is right, wrong, and acting against your own wishes for the benefit of what was disciplined into you in whatever manner.
Self-control is obviously controlling yourself. The real question is, what is control?
As for real freedom. You must answer, what is real, and what is freedom, what is real freedom, and what is the relationship between the two words of real and freedom, if any at all?
Of course, it's mind-boggling for me but tis the method of philosophy! I'd suggest The Republic.
Happy birthday Diana!
