Throughout history there are two types of freedom.
One is a
desire for independence from rules, and the other is a desire for the freedom
to do good things in the world.
They may seem similar, but in practice they
cause drastically different results.
The first led to the French Revolution
with all its extremes and violence, the second drove the American Revolution
with its focus on minimal violence and the goal of more freedom for all. There
are many additional examples.
In the 21st Century, the two types of freedom are
often confused. But let's be clear that only the second, a desire for freedom
in order to do good, is really freedom.
