Most modern freedom is at root fear. It is not so much that we are too bold to endure rules

About This Quote

One of the most profound things about freedom is that it is not given to you. Freedom is something that you have to fight for. Freedom is something you can only get if you are brave enough to challenge the system. The truth is, though, that most modern freedom is at root not so much fear of rules or regulations, but rather fear of consequences for breaking them.

We love our freedom because we like the idea of having choices and not always doing what someone else tells us to do. Without rules, we might be free, but we would also be lost.
