Question Numbers : (186 to 190)
What is freedom? It is a difficult question to answser categorically. Does it mean absolute liberty to do as one pleases? Complete non-restraint to pursue any fancy that strikes one? Is such a free existence possible at all for a human being? Freedom is, indeed, a nebulous concept, laying itself open to several interpretations, even conflicing ones.
There are champions of freedom who vehemently oppose any form of social control. Thoreau at least allows the need of some government--"the best government is the least govermment"--but there are others who denounce any sort of organisation at all. But given the imperfect nature of human beings, surely, such freedom would degenerate into anarchy and finally to the survival of the fittest in the sense of brute power? It would result in the tyranny of the weak by the strong; It would mean freedom for the strong and enslavement of the weak.
