Liberty is something we all want. Our national founding documents discuss the declarations of liberty, freedom and independence. Wars have been fought to obtain and keep it. People celebrate liberty. But true liberty may be different than what we think it is.
Liberty is defined as the power to act as one pleases. It is a state of independence, of autonomy, of being free from restrictions and of having the right of self-determination. Liberty may be defined in different ways when speaking of it politically, philosophically or religiously. Some may define liberty as the right to do whatever they want, whenever they want, with whomever they want! But most of us realize that liberty comes with restrictions.
Though the U.S. “Declaration of Independence” set forth the principle, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” Patrick Henry himself (famed for his defiant statement, “give me liberty, or give me death!”) set ethical boundaries: “The great pillars of all government and of social life [are] virtue, morality, and religion” (“Letter to Archibald Blair,” January 8, 1799).
Human behavior must be governed. Laws or rules addressing a nation, city, team, family unit or individual impose legal restrictions. Football teams must observe boundaries and rules, which referees enforce. Penalties are issued when rules are violated. A recent example is the charge that the New England Patriots football team purposely under-inflated footballs below the League’s requirements. This resulted in penalties being imposed on the team.
