‘True liberty is freedom from the control of others’
want to do even if it is considered wrong. Criminal activity is based on people using their full ability and freedom to steal, harm etc. Freedom is considered to be a good idea for humans to enjoy and make the most of life, on the other hand, this usually is not done without impacting or affecting others. These actions can cause feelings of guilt which also impacts freedom in the sense that we will not want to do what we want to again.
However this is self-inflicted so your loss of freedom are the consequences you have given yourself. Freedom may also mean wanting the impossible to happen. Having things that do not exist like the famous idea of the flying pig can yet again impact your freedom as there is nothing you can do about it. This means we do not have freedom to a full extent and us as humans have
many restrictions even from not having the money to buy something to eat.
Despite the fact there being restrictions, people can always have the ability to break these rules and rebel instinctively. This gives us no restrictions to freedom if you are not caught. We all have the freedom to do what we wish if we ignore all consequences. Unless you have a physical or mental disability that can impact you pursuing this. An example of this can be PTSD or being in a wheelchair that physically will stop you from carrying out what you want to do. But this is a natural occurrence which means that if you ' re comparing yourself to others then you have less freedom but individually you have had the same amount of freedom your whole life. Other than this we have the full ability to murder someone despite the consequences, however for the most part the majority of humans do not want to carry out an action such as murder which means we are also free in the opposite way in the sense that we also do not have to do what we do to want to do. For example, if it was compulsory to murder everyone you see and you did not want to this would be the reverse of our laws today thus also taking away our freedom in the same way.
In conclusion, I think as humans we are free to do what we wish to do at any time, in addition to this everyone is equal and originally had no authority over anyone else. Despite the restrictions and laws we are given, the majority of people have the ability to pursue their own interests and wishes. I think that it is a positive thing that we have restrictions to also test our own patience and willpower as individuals. I think that if we did not have these restrictions that everyone would be less free because you would be scared and too conscious of others around you being harmful or dangerous.
