It is very saddening to see the reality of people's lives today, with moral values becoming more and more broken.
In the past, what was considered bad and taboo still made people feel afraid and ashamed, but not with the world today.
What was once considered deviant is now celebrated, published, and normalized, even forced to be accepted in the name of freedom and free of choice.
People no longer value their parents' upbringing, religious teachings, and social norms. They say, it is my life, I can do whatever I want, do not interfere.
In today's world, we see it clearly. What was once kept private out of shame is now made into content.
Vulgarity gets more likes than modesty.
Disrespecting parents is called being independent.
Leaving faith is called being open minded.
Living without commitment is called self love. The more extreme, the more celebrated.
People think being authentic means showing everything without filter, saying everything without manners, doing everything without consequences.
Social media rewards it.
The more you cross the line, the more viral you become.
But many people do not realize that what we do and what we say has an impact, directly or indirectly. People have become too selfish and too proud.
Many people think freedom means we can do whatever we want, say whatever we want.
But is that truly freedom? or is it actually a prison that we build for ourselves, a prison that slowly destroys us?
If life is filled with freedom as many people assume today, is that the life we really want?
A life without meaning, a life without direction and purpose, only satisfying our personal ego, where everything is allowed but nothing fulfills us inside?

Individually speaking, if freedom has no moral boundaries, then there's a concerning psychotic breakdown going on.
Societally speaking, if freedom has no moral boundaries, then society is no more, it is anomie instead. Any society is making use of moral boundaries, it is mandatory for its survival. Also, any complex society must produce thoughts and ideas questioning, criticizing and challenging moral systems established. I believe it's a sane activity, as long as no one gets enough power to establish their moral system as the unique one.
Freedom without moral or legal boundaries is pure anarchy. In a system where "anything goes," freedom is not distributed equally; it is monopolized by whoever possesses the most power.
"modern slavery" still exists...
but we feel so free and comfortable with it... that we just ignore it
I sympathise with your sentiment. But the alternative is other people telling us to do whatever they want, say whatever they want.
The elite do what they want, only the peasants live in fear and shame.
It's not true freedom if there are any boundaries for any reason. Absolute free does not exist, never will and never can.
