A Prince of an Island State whose father was going abroad for one year sabbatical leave, gave the son the power of attorney to rule the state for a season until he returns. This over-ambitious youth suddenly conceived a subtle idea of absolute freedom. He abolished all rules and regulations that rob people of absolute freedom in the state. Traffic codes were eliminated. The code of conduct in the society was nullified. Men received freedom to stop women anywhere on the streets for sexual pleasures. People enter markets and pick commodities without any form of payment. Wickedness grew, giving the Prince a nickname: Prince Anarchy. The strange freedom propagated by Prince Anarchy immersed the State in uncontrollable chaos and lawlessness. On returning home from abroad, the father was filled with dismay; he took over governance and ended the terrible era of sad freedom. From the terrible ordeal people learnt that freedom which is controlled is the best for the human society. No wonder we have in our constitution the fundamental human rights that prescribe freedom under the armpit of the law of the State. LIVE FREE, but within allowable limits and defined boundaries. ABSOLUTE FREEDOM CAN BE DESTRUCTIVE.

Nice piece Reverend. I really love your perspective:
It is is very educational. Upvoted!!!
Wow. That's true sir. It's not actually possible to live free without chaos. Every form of freedom is defined by certain boundaries.
Warmest regards sir. Glad to know your are participating in this contest. Have read your piece, it's really lovely.
Nicely written with an appreciable aesthetic touch (well justified, properly emphasized were needed)
A lesson I won't easily forget.
I am just a newbie sir, you could show me love in the future. But sincerely, your piece caught my fancy.
Nice writing @reverend-fidelis. The caption for the contest: LIVE FREE seems both captivating and ambiguous.
You are correct sir. I am aware that human freedom is monitored by the Creator of mankind through a moral code. You can be free to the degree permitted by the Creator’s moral law.
What a challenging message articulated with a kit of fiction....
wow, loved the story. It's been sometime, I read a story with a moral lesson.
