Concepts of Liberty


Responsibility

People are responsible for their actions. They bear the consequences and measure their actions by yardsticks, the most important ones being their own conscience and own standards, which can be explained in a number of ways.

Living together in a society introduces yet another standard, namely the set of rules and laws that society has laid down for itself. In modern states these laws have been codified in a legal system and apply equally to all citizens. If you violate the law, you will be penalised. If you damage somebody else's property, then you will pay damages, as specified in the civil code.
