RE: What does it mean to live in a free society?

in #life8 years ago

I don't think there is true freedom. Humans are programed to want to conform and follow rules. Humans like order. Sometimes it comes in the form of laws. Sometimes it just comes from how our brain is programed. Like if you pay attention to something simple like walking down a sidewalk. In the U.S. we drive on the right side of the road, have handrails to stairs on the right side of stairwells. We are so programed to be right oriented that we walk on the right side of whatever space we are in like sidewalks. Even if you didn't have a larger structure of rules from a government, some types of rules (some unspoken) would govern your behavior.

Yip, and we do everything on the left side here...LOL! I do believe that there must be some order....going to write my next post tonight.
