(288 words) The author of this statement raised a very important issue that has been pressing throughout human history. Man, by virtue of his dual biosocial nature, is not always able to find a balance between these two manifestations of his social life.
According to the one who said this, between freedom and responsibility the link lies the most direct and immediate: the latter is a consequence of the former. If a person is free to make free choice, then it is his duty to be responsible for him.
I completely agree with this and I think: the willingness to meet the consequences of their decisions should be dictated to a person first of all by his conscience, and secondly by the word of the law. This is confirmed by many examples from literature and public life.
Katerina Kabanova, the main character of the drama A.N. Ostrovsky "Thunderstorm", as no one understands that their actions require an answer. Having done an unpardonable act for a married woman of the 19th century, having fallen in love with another man, she cannot find forgiveness and, being in a hopeless situation, rushes into the river. Of course, not only conscience gave her the strength to do this, but she was a powerful catalyst for realizing the whole wrongness of the act. Katerina cannot escape responsibility and understands this very well, and therefore she announces herself the most severe sentence.
A second example is what many citizens face every day - crimes, and the responsibility for imposing responsibility for such acts lies already on the shoulders of the law. Every day, people follow the wrong path and commit immoral, inhumane acts, violating public order, the rule of law and the laws of the state. For this, they, being caught, are brought to administrative, civil or criminal liability, and the punishment is imprisonment, exactly that which they so frivolously and carelessly disposed of, violating the boundaries of freedom of others.
The connection of responsibility and freedom cannot be denied, it must not be forgotten. At all times, writers, public figures, educators have drawn people's attention to this problem, saying that inevitably the choice is followed by the obligation to bear the burden of responsibility for it.
