but if i spend years training and practicing the piano

when I walk up to the piano

I have a greater freedom

Ummm

a freedom to make music

Oh I c

to do good things with the piano

It makes sense, actually.

So true freedom actually takes hard work

the distinction scholars make is the difference between freedom for indifference vs freedom of excellence

Maybe I still have a bit of that leftist propaganda deeply engrained in my brain.

liberalism yea

its amazing how the republican party just supports dem values from 20 years ago

here is something interesting https://www.pdfdrive.com/andrew-hitchcock-the-synagogue-of-satan-e25057011.html chronological doings of the big banks through history

He doesn't have the freedom to damage or harm the piano through abuse, libel and such are illegal

Ahhhhhhhh!!! So the freedom to excel in any domain is actual freedom, while the freedom to yell on the street is not, because I'd be infringing other people's freedom of peace.

not exactly

Yell in the street would be more of hitting random keys

its just "freedom" to do "anything" isnt really freedom

and liberty exists that we may choose the good and the true

Yeah, you're right.

First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people ***peaceably to assemble***, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

people who "freely" choose to binge watch netflix or feed their porn addiction are just slaves to their own passions and desires

There's a war on for your mind!

yelling at people is not a peacefull action its disruptive

Yeah, like... just because I "freely" chose to drink Pepsi, I'm still a slave to cola

@LuckyPuffy popular musician that are terrible is a thing

not necessarily

we dont need to be puritans

Yeah

God gave us pleasure for a reason

But we need to do our best

> There's a war on for your mind!
@SquidBee Matrix quote i believe

Delayed gratification?

exactly

even if only to build self control

to be properly ordered people

I work today for I to relax tomorrow?

as plato would say

just because god created pleasure does not mean your allowed to abuse it

drinking pepsi isnt abusing pleasure
