The Relationship between Freedom and Responsibility


There is a relationship between freedom and responsibility. People like to differentiate the two. Also they seem to be the exact same opposite of each other. The hard part about it is knowing what both means. The concept can be very difficult to understand and to apply in real life.
To start with, freedom means to be on your own. Sometimes, it is good to be free and under no one's control. Sometimes it can be bad and backfire. People crave for freedom and strive to gain it. Freedom can also have bad effect though too.
Responsibility is basically the opposite of freedom. Responsibility is something you have to take care of. Responsibility is having the obligation of attending to something or someone. The older you get, the more responsibilities you have. You can not have freedom from what you have to attend to. Freedom and responsibility are very different.
Even though freedoms and responsibilities are different, there is a connection. Freedoms and responsibilities both come when you get older. Each needs a certain amount of maturity to handle freedoms and responsibilities. That is the connection between the two.
There is a real relationship between freedoms and responsibilities.l They both come with time. Freedoms can be good and bad. Responsibilities are not so fun but you can learn from it. They are both good for people though.

Prince, a few notes... You are missing the about me post, when I was young post, Nicaragua essay (finished), and the change essay. Each post/essay should have at least 1 picture. Your profile needs to be at the top of the sidebar always. You've done a good job so far, just make sure to finish everything by next week!
