Freedom is a profoundly misunderstood concept.
Because you are free to Vacation in France doesn't me you can afford to.
Rust blowing in the wind is as free as rust can get. It is only when it is gathered, refined and restricted that it gains the power of a sword.
Order and discipline give you the power to accomplish more, even though they are restrictions of freedom.
Social rules are a restrictions of freedom, but you gain the strength & safety of the society.

because ultimate freedom does not exist,
and the limits of freedom comes down to
the practice of discipline and behaving in an orderly manner.
like enjoying certain freedoms entails
an equal amount of responsibility,
and exercising freedom without observing
the discipline and order would bring anarchy.
