Journal 18

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
                                                                                                                        ---Albert Camus

A free world is what everyone envisons, but what exactly would one define as freedom? As one man said before, " The right to swimg my fist ends where your nose begins." Freedom, even in countries where people have more liberty there are rules, and those rules impose boundaries on the individuals. So in essence, they are not truly free. I dont agree with Albert Camus because becoming absolutely free wouldnt solve the problem of an unfree world. Doing this would make the world a more dangerous place,eould create deeper inequalities. And break all government or systems that provided order.

In a world where there are absolutely no boindaries there would be complete caos. If there are no rules than individuals can act upon as they wish without a system checking up or serving as enforcers. Murder rate would go up and destruction would be inevitable. Having complete freedom wouldnt solve the problen of an unfree world,instead it would create a new problem in which power is shared meven more by the few. Or it would cause bigger problems then it would hope to fix. In fact ine of the only ways in which his plan would effecively work is if there were only one individual left.
