Freedom

1. Do human beings have an innate instinct to be free? (from Anonymous)

In contemporary times, when a human is born, he has the innate instinct to be free.  In Medieval Times, if you were born a serf, you would die a serf. There is no choice to be free or not.  In modern times, if you are in a low class family, it is your choice to grow into a career or wealth and money.  Serfs and peasants lived a tortured life of slavery and forced labor.  Slaves would even be beaten and neglected.  "He would by no means have forbidden them to be molested in such matters if he had recognized that they possessed them unjustly" (Medieval Sourcebook)."Flag Day Outreach Walk in Downtown Asheville «." Asheville Tea Party.
