The thin line between freedom and licentiousness
Freedom refers to the right to speak, think, or act as one wants without any restrictions while licentiousness on the other hand means lack of moral restraint or disregard for social norms, leading to harmful behavior. Freedom involves making choices and taking responsibility for those choices while licentiousness involves acting without consideration for others or for the consequences of one's actions.
Understanding freedom
Freedom is the power to act, and think without undue restrictions. It's the ability for one to make choices , pursue his goal and live life on one's own terms. Through freedom, one is able to express himself and challenge social norms, and push boundaries. Through freedom we are able to exercise certain rights that concern our beliefs and the things we do.
A slippery slope to licentiousness
Freedom and licentiousness are two distinct concepts that become easily entangled. While freedom is essential to human flourishing, licentiousness causes harm.
The line between freedom and licentiousness is thin and easily blurred. When individuals prioritize their desire above others, it falls into licentiousness even when they assume to be exercising their freedom. Licentiousness leads to disregard for others, exploitation of power dynamics, harm, and lack of responsibility.
Licentiousness comes with certain consequences; it can lead to social unrest and chaos, distrust, harm to others , selfishness and greed. To maintain a balance, one needs to recognize the importance of personal responsibility, respect the rights and boundaries of others, establish and uphold social norms and responsibilities, and encourage self-reflection.
By understanding the difference between these two concepts, and maintaining the balance, we can create a society that values individuals right while promoting greater good.
Some people, in the name of exercising their freedom end up abusing that of others. Indeed, the line between freedom and licentiousness is so thin. Such that it's very easy to cross over it.
Licentiousness leads to nothing more than harm, chaos, selfishness and so much more.

So true, people often confuse the both
One must respect others in an attempt to exercise freedom. If it gets to the point where other's interest is not considered important, such exercise of freedom has crossed the red line.

Yeah, others should also be considered while exercising our freedom
Freedom is everything, at least the act of feeling free.
That's true
This part was really good, you made it so clear 👏👏👏
And yep, we have to remember that freedom also brings with it great responsibility
Thank You 💕
