What is the difference between freedom and liberty?
The philosophy behind freedom is according to dictionary.com the power to exercise choice and make decisions without constraint from within or without; autonomy; self-determination.
Hence does one have the freedom to seek liberty?
Or are we at liberty to seek freedom from personal constraint?
Does a righteous law seek to constrain freedom or liberty?
Does a law that is not fair but is enforced seek to constrain freedom or liberty?
Do the laws or the lawmakers seek to constrain folks freedom?
For these queries I pose I have no answer. Most time they just raise more questions.
Do you feel constrained in your life? Please feel free to comment and join in my thoughts.
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
