This is very thoughtful. I believe the founders of the US had exactly this duality in mind when forming our government. The logic flowed something like this: 1. People are not good by nature. 2. Some of those people will not regulate their impulses. 3. This causes the violation of other people’s rights by the unregulated. 4. Some cooperation is required to defend the freedom of everyone else. 5. Government is evil. 6. Ergo, the least amount of government required to protect the rights of the average person is the least possible evil. Then there is also a need to dissect the difference between freedom from restriction and freedom *of* opportunity. You could have a perfect government with absolute rights, but that doesn’t mean that the past and chance, etc provides you with many opportunities to do much with it. It certainly takes both to create a prosperous nation.
Good point, everyone can define this differently. I watched a TV show about a prison where the inmates were locked in their cells for 22 hours a day, the Prison Governor wanted to do an experiment and allow a certain section of the prison their doors open all day and for them to move freely. They didn’t know what to do or how to handle this small amount of freedom.
I certainly cannot explain it, there’s smarter people out there than me. I can only guess it was back in the early days of invading lands across the world.
