A free man has the right to choose, and he has been deprived of specified a right. The utmost “can” for everyone is anarchy, the utmost “must” is dictatorship. To us Catholics, to keep balance between these extremes, 10 commandments were sufficient. For centuries they have been the determinants of the law of law and moral law. The Greeks appointed for this intent defined the responsibilities of a associate of the community, that is, what he ‘must’. The remainder were what he could. This ‘can’ depended on his will and circumstances which were independent of the law.
The revolutionaries of different ointments tried to “fix” the world, among another things, by law specified as “as they understood them.” Finally, we reached their dream summit – affirmation of evil in any form.
A citizen, or alternatively a subject, small may, but must participate in absurdities intended for him, specified as climateism, gender, or tiny ones specified as the ban on trade on Sunday. By the way, a small bit of fun. For centuries now, the applicable English have observed that people do not want to leave their homes on Sundays. To encourage them to attend the services, inns were built close the churches. It worked.
However, it could be left to the curious to decide whether they like working on Sunday for a double rate and any another day of rest. I guess that's the kind of freedom adults can be allowed to have. They are not children with matches left alone in an empty wooden house.
