- ben_w 5y agoYou appear to be using the word “freedom” to refer to something other than the ability to act without constraint. The phrase “My freedom ends where yours begins” (and its many variations and false attributions to various famous figures) is one of moral considerations and generally used to argue for what the world ought to be, but it is not and never has been a fundamental — i.e. even when the law falls silent — truth of the reality we actually live in.
