Liberty

 "The process of liberation is continuous."  Eric Schaub

The desire for it is natural.   But people, society and governments must continue to make sure that it exists and that it is available.  Liberty is a two-sided coin.  There is a constant force to want to practice it.  At the same time there is a constant force to deny its practice.   Apparently, it must be this way.  The battle to survive in civilization is connected to the battle to allow liberty.  The irony of those two battles is this:  Freedom has allowed a great deal of creativity, thus enhancing civilization.  Freedom has also allowed a variety of actions, including debauchery, decadence and the breakdown of moral parameters.  This allowance is capable of ushering in the end of civilization as we know it.  The battles must continue.  There is no other way.
