Question

Very very very big and easy speech on true liberty

Answer 1

Liberty is derived from the Latin word liber which means free. It is a word of negative meaning denoting absence of restraint. Its primary significance is to do what one likes, regardless of all consequences.

But this is obviously impossibility. Liberty in the sense of a complete absence of restraint cannot exist. We cannot live together without common rules.

The presence of common rules of behaviour is the consequence of our gregariousness. If I choose to do all that I wish, regardless of the interests of others among whom I live, there is likely to be perpetual strife and conflict in society; conditions of chaos and anarchy.
