Freedom

Freedom within certain limits that don't impinge on the freedoms of others.

A few years ago, in my doctorate studies, I read an interesting article on how Freedom and Equality really are not compatible. Yet those two terms are often used together. The author brought up some interesting insights that I had not considered.

Then there is personal freedom-which also is limit to the law and regulation in a persons country and a persons own limit.

Which made me remember a discussion I once had with a friend.

We discussed what would be best taking the buss to the job or our car.

My friend said

I like the freedom in driving my own car and do as I feel fit for
(something like that)

I said
Well this freedom is very limited I would instead say you have option within the traffic laws and regulation.

You have the freedom to choose when you will start you car and where you like to go. Even here you freedom is limit if there something wrong with you car, which makes it illegal to drive it.

And I have read and heard this many, many times.

I like the freedom in driving my own car.
