Freedom and limitation

When we come into this world, we have various resources at our disposal. Our freedom is in the actions we can take or things we can do with the resources at hand. This should align with our thinking and imagination. (Or, the other way around.) We need the ability to see possibilities with these limited resources and take the ones that make us the happiest. I think excessive limitations on one’s action tends to degrade such ability. Therefore, it is important to design a societal structure that will maximize personal freedom, only guards against the worst harms, and only as a last resort, through the limitation of freedom.
