...we know that in order for people to live together peacefully, in a civilized manner, many rules are necessary.
Man's loose interpretation of the meaning of "freedom" has contributed to his discontent. People tend to think of freedom in an absolute sense. The ultimate freedom is living on a deserted island where one has no need to be concerned about neighbors or what neighbors think. This is of course an impossible ideal in a crowded world, so we need to define freedom as it applies to living in a democracy, and this we have done (in Chapter 17). When people understand the limitations of freedom, they will not be misled by unrealistic expectations and will be more satisfied, less discontent, with all the rules of civilization.
