Man is born free yet everywhere in chains
The quotation which forms the topic of dialogue assumes that mankind is for the most part merely a group of shackled creatures with little or no freedom in a world where the unspoken statute of Nature dictates that every man born under the sun is equally free. ... Man’s freedom is probably compromised ever since humans started to coexist in groups many thousands of years ago, when the elder or leader of each group set down a set of rules or codes of conduct governing the behavior of his clan.
