To understand freedom, understanding evil is necessary.
Cultural definition of evil:
Darkness and Fear; An incarnate that controls the minds of people
True definition of Evil:
The destruction of Freedom
Any control system that claims authority over any human, is destroying freedom.
Any system that diminishes a humans value, by telling them what to do, what to think and how to feel is destroying the value of the human.
Systems do this with the idea that they are superior to those that they claim authority over, those they claim to govern. These systems believe they are just in their actions because they know what's best for those people and the people themselves don't know what's good for them.
Unfortunately the road to hell is paved with good intentions, I guess..
Freedom allows all that is good to prosper
Thats why people have fought for it throughout history
The idea of we need to govern over other humans to make a better world for us and them, destroys the value of whomever is governed. The idea that humans aren't intelligent enough to learn and grow amongst themselves is the root of evil, its that idea that is the destruction of freedom
