There is a story of a man thought he had a right to do what he liked. One day, this gentleman
was walking along a busy road, spinning his walking-stick round and round in his hand, and was
trying to look important. A man walking behind him objected. "You ought not to spin your walking-
stick round and round like that!" he said.
"I am free to do what I like with my walking-stick," argued the gentleman. 'Of course you are," said
the other man, "but you ought to know that your freedom ends where my nose begins." The story
tells us that we can enjoy our rights and our freedom only if they do not interfere with other
people's rights and freedom.
