Freedom !

If you are free, you are wild and selfish ...

 "Freedom means being able to do anything that does not harm others" (Article 4 of the Declaration of Human Rights). How can anyone do anything that does not harm others, no matter what one does it will hurt a person somewhere.

Collectively we deprive ourselves of our individual natural freedom. If you dissuse me that you fully enjoy your individual natural freedom. I will tell you that you are wild and selfish. Because our civilization takes away this freedom. It's not true, we can do what we want, we can say what we want and even think as we want ... We are like programmed toys, we can be influenced. It is not because we are free to choose that we are free, especially when we know in advance the consequences, that our choices may have. In our day can we say that freedom is just a feeling ... When our freedom is guaranteed by society, and we are indebted to it, then can we say freely that we are free ...
