Explain in your own words, "What freedom means?"
Advertisements
उत्तर
Freedom is not the absolute right of an individual. It is not a personal affair only but a social contract. It is an accommodation of interests. One may exercise freedom in matters pertaining to choice of haircut, clothes, sandals, and sleeping habits. There are thousand little things for which one can use freedom and be wise or otherwise. But beyond that kingdom of freedom, one’s freedom of action is qualified by other’s freedom. One might use a trombone from midnight till three in the morning provided it is done in Mount Everest and not where one’s own family members are asleep. One’s right to play on trombone must not interfere with the liberty of neighbors to sleep in quiet. A reasonable consideration for the rights or feelings of fellow humans is the foundation of social conduct.
