I agree with the title and some of what you wrote... but I think "freedom" doesn't suit us (this generation of) humans.... most humans want security even if it means being slave to/under something. you can't talk about being free if you want "stable" life.... Life with freedom is very harsher than the current reality...
Also, you can't ask for total freedom... total freedom means that every person can get away with every bad thing they want to do... having police, having a law, costs a lot!! yeah... the current laws can get better but you can't live without a law... and law has very great costs on freedom.
I wish I can say otherwise but humanity has very dark side... you have a Dark Side, without laws and rules this dark side can get worse.
What we should want isn't Freedom, But better Law!!
I maybe one of the few that knows this first hand.
implying that police has stopped "bad things". it's a common myth much like short fence in front of the yard stopping burglaries.
ofcourse I can. Been doing it for some time.
'Ofcourse I can. Been doing it for some time'
You can live without laws only if your present actions and desirable actions do not conflict with those laws already implemented. While this may apply to you, it doesn't apply to everyone. We need law, otherwise we will have chaos. Total freedom also makes us lazy and care free to an extent where people can harm others or our environment unintentionally. You are also free if you are fine living within the boundaries of the laws which do not affect/apply to you or your lifestyle. These laws may however affect others. Example: No smoking -fine: 5 years imprisonment
we already have chaos. it just happens to serve some but not others. what is order for the spider is chaos for the fly.
Law don't necessarly stop the bad things... actually it might create new ones (those who make laws are human too and they're more free than those under them so 'doing bad' for them is way easier than without laws)...
But without a law/rules everyone will have this "ability" to do bad things without consequences ... that's worse than having few people doing that.
The freedom you talk about needs that every person in the society is good at heart. I wish this can happen... but "most people" when they can choose the easier option they will choose it even if it was the worse choice.
Rules are created to serve some people but not others. I don't care about rules. I don't care about the government. the freedom i talk about is in the mind. Once you get hold of that then every other boundary fails.
I agree with this.
