Freedom or Safety? A tough choice.

     I agree that safety and freedom are both major concepts in life and both are important.  But if we only have to choose one I would say freedom. Freedom gives us our life and it is our decision what we do with that. If you want to damage your life with your new freedom go ahead. The smart people will use their freedom wisely and will live life. We, as people, are never 100% safe anyway. How do we now when we will die, when we get disease, or when tragedy strikes. That's right, we don't. We will never be completely safe, and what would our life be without risks? It would be pretty boring. As myself, I love risks, it gives me a sense of adventure. I love that. Now it is your decision what you do with you life. You can live it freely or safe. Even our founding fathers saw to it to give us freedom in the first amendment. You can't be safe without freedom but you can have freedom without being safe. Basically freedom is more important than safety. It's your choice to live your life safe or not, but in order to live your life you have to be free.
