Definition of Liberty
- By Bahram Maskanian
Liberty is a human right. Liberty is the condition of being liberated and free from any official restrictions, or control, having the right and the power to act, to believe, or express oneself in a manner of one's own choosing, without causing any physical, and or psychological injury to others, without causing any damage to our environment, and without infringing on other peoples’ liberty and freedom. Liberty is the social condition of being protected physically and legally, to be free from unjust servitude, confinement, or forced labor.
To have and enjoy liberty is to be protected and to be free from the unjust, or undue control, or interference from any form of religious, or government elected, appointed, or employed officials. Liberty is a human right, an enabling human power to engage in certain actions peacefully without the use of any form of violence, intimidations and force. Liberty is to act without the need of any religious, or government agents control, interference, or permission, or action of any other elected, appointed or employed officials, or authorities. Nations who do possess a Bill of Rights guarding and protecting their liberty must protect it vigilantly.
The boundaries of one’s liberties are defined by the rules and guidelines of reason, common sense and ethical standards.
