subject: Discipline and Freedom [print this page] Discipline and Freedom Discipline and Freedom
Regiment and Freedom are the two sides of a same coin..? I am going to speak for the motion. We generally talk about to get the freedom only but the question arises" will only freedom give us success". Not only to get the success but to live happily there must be blending of regimentation and discipline in adequate fractions. We can understand by a simple example that in an upbringing of a child, there should be discipline so that the child can learn the morals and ethics but there should be some part of freedom also so that the child can express his feelings.
On one side where discipline teaches us to stay in good order or pattern on another side freedom teaches the wide spectrum to think and to express our self. The perfect combination of these two components gives incredible success, leads the particular status and fulfills the dreams. Freedom is here to make the rules and Discipline is here to guard the rules.
A king is always free to rule the public but he is disciplined also so that he wont become an autocrat. The strict discipline or regimentation will transform a person to a robot. On the other side freedom without discipline will make the person a strayer, a person who is unaware about his goals. If freedom is the only substitute of regimentation and regimentation is the only substitute of freedom then why don't we say that they are two sides of same coin. IN the end I would say that regimentation and freedom are the wheels of a same cart.
