Liberty

Since his appeance on the earth, man has inddtinctively longer for liberty, an ideal which has insoined revolts and revolutions throughout the long history of the human race.
The yearning for liberty of freedom is not restricted to man alone. Even animals, birds and all liveing creatures love the freedom that God has giving to them . Like men, these creatures will never submit to captivity without resistance. Nether will they case to make tenacious.
In the early days of their exidtence, men were free to pursue their own affairs, within the limits of their own abitity. They moved from place to place in small isolated grouops and familied, in seach of food, which consisted of edible plants, fruit and the flesh of animals, The pursuit of the means of survival was their only occupatino, and the things that resricted their frdddom of movement, to some extent, were3 thir own fears of the unknoun and natural narriers suvh as mountains, dense forest and rivers. There were no restraints imposed up them by human institution, and they enuoyed their liberty.
Gradually, mean learned to live in communites and various institutions were established which soon curtailed their liberty to great extent. Rules were made for the cohesion of each commununity, and obediencen to those vules was secured buy the threat of punishement. This element of compulsion imposed upon the conduct of the individuals in the community restricted the liberty of the people, but the greater security that men enjoyed in community life provided the incentive to partial saerifices.
