freedom.

this idea of freedom has a long history meaning many differnt things. it ment thigns like for the french topilling a selfess goverment, for the amercian colonys ending taxation, south aferica end of a racist goverment. each oen though has strived for the same cuase freedom. but what does this mean and when Banach says "absoulte freedom" there are so many kinds of freedom it is hard to say. an idea that gets to me when i hear this abosulte freedom is Isaiah Berlins idea of two freedoms postive and negitve freedom. what Banach says about the indivusal is negtive freedom this is the idea of the freedom that many americas say they have this idea that the indivual is the center not the socoity. what i feel about Banach says is that it is selfish that the only way tpo be free is to be alone and be an idivusal but there is a problem that this creats a growth for greed. greed now when not uncontrol can wrap and disfranchies the morals and nauter of a person but would it be free? would some be free if they where greedy again you are bond to your self and only your self the lens doesnt grow further from the mirror. but there is one question or two that bothers me is do we free our selves of greed or be free to be greety.
