Freedom has its limitations…

Freedom has limits.
Every free man bears responsibility for one’s actions.
Freedom may be defined by loosing limitations, but in my terms it looses its value when we take the freedom of others for our own benefit.
For example, freedom does not mean that we are free to take someone’s life. Nor take his form of livelihood, and the decency of his honor.
Freedom is limited to having the same chances of attaining a sense of comfort through our own ways of working without obstructing justice and equality.
Consider this as an example.. There is a terrorist group hiding in a building with certain number of hostages. The terrorist enlist a number of demands that the law enforcers find impossible to negotiate. While the military are conceptualizing plans to extract the hostages, the media deliberately expose the plans to the public to gain live and exclusive shots of what is happening in the red zone. The problem lies in this situation is when there are mediums of communications through televisions inside the building. Being provoked, confused and trapped the terrorist group believed that they would die in the process of hostage extraction, thereby killing all hostages. The extraction plans by the marines were compromised, leading to casualties and body counts of minor injuries.. For what cause did the media exposed this things? Were a number of dead bodies worth a much higher viewer ratings? For expanded hording of attentions? For plaques and trophies for false services?
Indirect killing sprung because of this issues. Because of practice of gaining much is defining standards of false freedom. A medal with each media man in return of each dead hostage is not freedom.
It is lawful to be executed as it is the right of the media to spread the truth.
But to the extent of giving more harm than to make things right, then it’s freedom is untrue, for it is purpose has not been helpful.
A man is free when he accepts the responsibility of his own actions. Freedom resides to good and all the fruits of freedom must not be harmful. Limitations gives freedom not to one person only but to all. So its sense will be much higher, giving a fair deal and creates freedom for all.
