    Which one do you want most for yourself?

    And is peace without freedom better than freedom without peace? Or vice versa? Just asking.

    This is artificial. Why choose? Let's have both peace and freedom. And let's throw a little love in there, too. Why not?

    How can you have one without the other? Freedom is something that exists naturally. It isn't granted by government. So when you talk about restricting freedom, it usually comes with force, unless you have a population that is as dumbed down and passive as society is today. In that case you don't even need to wage violence against the citizenry. Just tell people they're under attack by some outside bogeyman and they will willingly give up their freedom.

    How can one be at peace knowing one is not free? How can one be free without the capacity or ability to feel peace?

    Balance... that is my true goal. Harmony.
