Answer:Liberty denotes absence of restraint; in fact the word liberty is derived from the
Latin word “liber” which means free. It implies freedom to do what one likes,
regardless of the conditions, the environments and the postures of leaders who
rule the land with or without the people’s consent.
In many regions, especially those under authoritarian rule, individual liberty in
the real sense is still an ideal to be achieved. It is only in genuine democracies
that there can be true liberty for the individual. Liberty or freedom means doing
or acting without any restrictions; where there is restraint or restriction, liberty is
limited to that extent.
But liberty does not and in effect cannot, mean license to do or act as one
pleases, regardless of the consequences for others. Liberty is a highly cherished
and much valued privilege; it implies that we can go where we like, do what we
like, and work as and where we like. But absolute liberty, like absolute rights, is
absolute nonsense, because everyone lives in society and living in society means
we have all to observe certain rules and regulations.
That is where discipline comes in. Discipline involves a restraint on liberty but it
is a necessary and vital restraint in the interest of society. Since the origin of
man and society, discipline of some kind has been found necessary for both
individual and social welfare. Discipline and restraint were deemed essential in
prehistoric times also, and as society has become more and more complex, the
urgency and importance of discipline has been felt all the more.
Actually, discipline is not only desirable but indispensable. Wherever discipline
and regulation of human conduct are absent, moral and material deterioration
has set in. And where such deterioration starts the nation falls a victim to
aggression by better organized and more disciplined people from outside.
So the absence of discipline and restraint often means decay; to prevent such
decay, discipline has to be imposed in the common interest and for the common.
