LET US DO NO HARM!: LET US RESPECT OUR FREEDOM AND THAT OF OTHERS

According to scientific research, freedom has a significant correlation with happiness, and lack of freedom with distress. This is one of the reasons why the countries that top the global happiness rankings are also among the highest in indices of human, economic, and press freedom: Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Iceland, etc.

Therefore, let us not steal that valuable treasure from others, nor allow it to be stolen from us. Because all human beings are free by birthright and, consequently, we may do with our life, death, body, and mind what we consider appropriate, with the limitation of not harming others (except in legitimate self-defense).

Freedom means that we have the right to:

  • Follow customs and traditions or not, do what most people do or not, express ourselves, dress as we wish, do things our own way, be different, innovative, and even extravagant, but not to abuse anyone, any sentient being.

  • Think for ourselves and reject the parts of the education we have received that do not seem right to us.

  • Not associate with anyone who abuses us.
  • Be single, have several polyamorous relationships, or have only one partner, with whom we may agree on a closed or open relationship, although freely agreed-upon commitments must be honored. If fulfilling them becomes impossible, instead of deceiving, let us tell the truth and seek a solution.
  • Not have sex and to have it, even with many different people, provided it is freely consensual. And with people of the opposite gender, the same, or both. And even to choose whether we want to be men, women, or another gender if that is how we feel.
  • Make mistakes and not choose the option with the most advantages and the fewest disadvantages, provided that we assume responsibility for our actions and omissions, since we are, at the same time, free and responsible.
  • Work at whatever we decide and freely decide what we do with the wealth earned honestly, once the fair amount of taxes has been paid.
  • And so on and so forth.


But all of the above must be understood in light of the fact that our freedom ends where the freedoms and rights of others begin, including non-human animals. Therefore, true liberalism is accompanied by law and order, because otherwise what we have is chaos and abuse, as in Russia in the 1990s after the fall of communism, which is why many Russians have turned their backs on freedom and embraced authoritarianism once again.
