Liberty is freedom tempered with responsibility.
Remind anyone who whines about freedom being dangerous because it doesn't mention responsibility-- it was never intended to.
They're just focusing on one facet of liberty and pretending that because it isn't what they want means this invalidates the whole thing. Any isolated part is going to be flawed and missing something essential.
Responsibility without freedom is meaningless and is just as flawed as freedom without responsibility. Liberty is the solution.

Writing to promote liberty is my job.
YOU get to decide if I get paid.
I hope I add something you find valuable enough to support.

Good explanation. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI regard these two things; freedom and responsibility, as aspects of the same thing. The same way a coin has a heads and a tails. You can’t have one without the other, they are just different sides of the same unity.
ReplyDeleteI agree and would express this as them being aspects of liberty.
