Freedom is dangerous. It gives us the option to choose evil, and to do evil things. Unfortunately, it is only through freedom that we can truly choose goodness and do good things according to our heart's content.
Most people believe that once people gain their freedom from oppressors, they became free. History shows that's not necessarily true. Our oppressors are not outside us but within us--pride, fear, covetousness... These sinful vices keep people in bondage using chains that no amount of uprising can break.
