The idea of absolute freedom is fiction. It's based on the idea of an independent self. But, in fact, there's no such thing. There's no self without other people. There's no self without sunlight.

And bees to pollinate the food we eat...so the idea of behaving in a way that doesn't acknowledge those reciprocal relationships is not really freedom, it's indulgence.

Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation reciprocal.

Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions.
