Human have the freedom to live, eat, breath and do anything. But for me, the real freedom is doing anything or any decision without any 'blocking'. But in the reality, the freedom we have now is what we have done will have us to take responsible to the thing we did from our freedom. Human Freedom = To Accept Responsibility, i think this is one the theory of Humanistic. So, do you think we have to take responsibility on what we have done? Commonly i think we should. But i'm not sure the real meaning...
Human Freedom = Accept Responsibility.

We all hear about freedom and democracy. These are things that we have been taught to want and need. The idea that people are free is both correct and incorrect at the same time. Read on! If you think that we as human beings are completely free, then that is wrong. Because as long as we affect each other and have the capacity to harm each other and reap the consequences, then we are not free. However, if you think that we are free to choose within our limited framework as human beings, then that is correct. Mankind is free to choose right or wrong, truth or falsehood. This freedom of choice is a gift from the Creator. It is when man makes the good and right choices that his life is blessed and humanity remains intact. However, whenever man acts against divine guidance and against the conscience Allah implanted in each of us, he loses his humanity and then behaves worse than an animal. So where are we now and what should we do? So the proper use of freedom is to use your ability, your potential, your environment, and so on, in such a way that you do not harm yourself or others, and that you actually think, speak, and act in a way that develops your family and society. And what is democracy? This is when the people of a society (country) elect their leadership. Now if the people are pious and just, they will naturally elect a pious and just ruler. However, if the people are oppressive, racist, and evil, they will vote for the ruler who best suits them. So democracy only works for the good of society when society is good. |
