Question

Describe the incident about the. stout lady who walked down the middle of a street. what do we learn from it ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

                      A stout old. lady  who was walking down the middle of a street in Petrograd claiming that she had the liberty to walk anywhere. But she did not realise if liberty entitled the foot-passenger could walk in the middle of the the road it also entitled the vehicles to drive on the pavement, and such liberty would be universal chaos; Hence, Individual liberty would have become social anarchy.

                       There is a danger of the world getting liberty-drunk like the old lady implying the road of rule means if the liberties of all may be preserved, the liberties of everybody must be curtailed. When the policeman steps out into the middle of the road and puts out his hand before your car, you may feel that your liberty has been outraged. However, if you are a reasonable person, you will realize that if he did not interfere the result would be total confusion. Hence, you have submitted to a curtailment of private liberty so as to enjoy a social order which makes your liberty a reality.
