RE: Fixing your own mental illness....A perspective from someone who was mentally ill. SESSION 1.
1/ Is personal freedom a right?
That is a 'yes' or 'no' answer. Anything else is just your intellect and ego trying to muscle in.
I disagree with this for the simple reason that suggesting a question is a yes or no answer, when there are possible caveats, is in fact imposing your ego on the question.
What you are saying in essence is that I see it as a yes or no answer, therefore you should too.
For instance personal freedom is not a right if you assault or kill someone, or steal from them.
So I would say personal freedom is a right if you are being a fundamentally good person.
We have already established that the personal freedom principle is a fundamental right and this is a constant. Non negotiable.
Clearly it is not as stated above. This isn't ego it's just practical and common sense. Wouldn't you agree?
