What is the defination of life? Life is living or existing. Being in existence is life. We can fail to live or exist if there are barriers to what a living life needs do. You won't probably know what freedom is unless it is denied from you.
As humans, we have freedoms that make us actually tell we are alive. Apart from eating, moving and reproducing, just knowing that you are free is enough gift.
In life, there are so many dont's
Do not drink
Do not smoke
Do not marry that one
*Do not taje that course
Do not be a musician
Do not take too much sugar
Do not talk and eat
Do not feed animals in this zoo
These are just a few dont's but life presents many. They try to nurture good manners and also assist in keeping law and order but they remove juice in life
If a child cries for a razor, give him. If it cuts him, he will learn
The above is a saying in kiswahili. It means that we allow freedom to kids as they will learn. A razor represeñts life. The añcestors were not wrong when they coined that adage.
Supposing the world was free. One does what he wants to do. People will be tired of doing wrong. Thieves will see no need to steal. Sex pervasits will see no need to do their evil. Smokers will be tired of smoking. The razor blade will cut them and they will learñ.
Don'ts make people into adventurers. They want to experiment. Rules make people to be interested in breaking them. The gist in life is destroyed.
Always people are seeking for more and more don'ts. There are meeting norms. Switch off the phone or put it in silent mode. Let them ring and embarass the owner of the disturbing phone. There are many more.

Great work here. You cover so many important points in one post. The most important is those of us who have freedom will never know what's it like to NOT have freedom. Some of us...are very spoiled.
I love that @negative
We learn by mistakes. Thanks for this post
Yes there's more to life than living. Thanks for your post. Good work.
Thank you
The child and razor reminds me of when my nephew was young. He would insist we give him tea in this metallic cup without a handle. Dad would refuse, one day he threw a tantrum and dad asked him to hold it. He went ahead and poured little tea directly from the flask. The boy threw it down and didn't shed a tear. He had learned.
Yeah! We learn that way
I honestly hate rules.
Me too
