Freedom

Most of us like freedom. We all like the freedom such as to choose where we want to live, what we want to have, how to do things in our own way, and when to do something. Most of us would not like to be told where to live, what we want, how to do, and when to do. We are humans, not slaves. Only slaves are deprived of their freedom.

Rulers also like freedom but they do not like those ruled having the same amount of freedom as they do, otherwise those ruled are difficult to control. History shows that one major difference between a totalitarian country and a democratic country is the amount of freedom enjoyed by the rulers and the ruled. The wider the gap the more servitude of the ruled.

When our government asks us to do something but the officials are not doing the same, that's a sign of inequality. Disdain it.
