CONSCIOUS FREEDOM

I could be whatever I wanted to be, but not do whatever I wanted to do. In other words, my aspirations could be boundless, but my behavior was subject to right and fitting limits. These limits were defined by personal morality and integrity, and by commonly shared ideas of decency and ethics. These things were not intended to crimp my freedom, but rather to give it direction and shape.
