Do you want freedom or liberty? What's the difference? In this video, Mark Pellegrino explains that you can only be liberated from another person because only people can use force when they don’t have to. You can't be liberated from natural constraints like gravity.

'The natural constraints of reality and life cannot be pretended out of existence. At best, the burden of complying with these unalterable realities can be shifted temporarily to another.'
