Freedom is a right which is possessed by all humans from the moment they are
born. It should be noted that they are also capable to think rationally in the light of
reason Since it is generally accepted that humans possess the capacity to reason and
act freely as morally versed individuals, their ability to distinguish between good and
wrong influences morality. But there is no denying the universal principles that
underlie all human actions and reactions. The actual issue with how we are free comes
Technically, humans are physically free to do as they wish within the limits of
human capabilities. They are susceptible to physical laws that hinder them from flying
like a bird or teleporting to another dimension. This goes the same for morals, the laws
they are subject to have some activities that are expressly forbidden or even required.
These limits were established in order to avoid abuse. Humans as they are, there are
things that they could not get enough of, and one of those is power. Once they hold
power, tendency is they would exploit it unless there are restrictions. Hence, there are
to attempt to prevent others from practicing such freedom. Assuming that humans are
adeptly knowledgeable on the classification of wrong from right. They should be able
to recognize and formulate the innate ethical boundaries that humans are expected to
follow. People's ability to stick to what is right without being conditioned is what truly
sets them apart from animals. Therefore, mere desire for human liberty does not have
2. Is it fair for a bad person to go to heaven and a good person to go to hell? Justify your
Each person's perception of what is good and evil in the world is unique. And
absolutely determining this is really complicated. Since the inner voice that says "do
good, avoid evil" precedes any notions of social order, the question of what is right or
wrong, will always be a part of reality. This is true not just because it serves the
practical objective of establishing order in the world system but because humans’
their ideas of goodness to regulate both their own and other people's decisions, which
shows how fundamental the concept of good and bad is in our decision-making.
A bad person going to heaven and a good person going to hell seems like a very
unjust situation in favor of the former. Deciding whether this is fair or not all depends
on one’s religious and philosophical views. Looking at this case in the perspective of
religion, the person’s faith and their repentance determines where they are going
following death. As in accordance with their scripture, no matter how good you are if
you did not believe in God, hell is still where you will end up in. Individuals can only
enter paradise by embracing the forgiveness that Jesus extends to us. Jesus carried the
people’s punishments for them. The gift of forgiveness, which He offers with His life,
is now being offered to all Christians by Him. The only thing He requires is the
person’s decision to accept it. However, philosophically, it is surely unfair for the good
to suffer while the bad are rewarded in heaven. Think of following higher rules and
applying good principles in your life, only to be punished. Surely, one would feel
everyone that doing good is the norm. Humans do not know for certain where
everyone ends up in after death, but that does not mean you should be able to do
whatever you want to do to the extent of stepping over others. As rational individuals,
you are expected to treat others how you want to be treated. Treat everyone with
Retribution is inevitable since life revolves for a long time, therefore even though it
might not be the same person you helped, good fate will happen anyway.
