Search Results: wanting freedom

I mean the right to have freedom and democracy. Where I live and in other countries you can only go out if you write on a paper why you left the house, where you live and so on. The reason must match a number of reasons the goverment considered to be justified. If you don't have the paper or have a tiny mistakes on it you are fined for more than the average salary (not the minimum...). Lots policemen make abuses and give fines for the smallest thing. You can't even go out at a local shop without risking a fine. Also, they closed the dentists' offices, women couldn't find a place to get an abortion anymore. They also want to force us to wear masks in public transportation (and other public places) where we don't have air conditioning for the whole summer... Of course, nobody asked us anything, though we are supposed to live under democracy...

I am not complaining they closed the unnecessary bussiness, but it feels like we are in home arrest. We have about 14k total confirmed cases and 850 deaths (most had serious illnesses...). The economy downfall and the isolation has affected way more people. We also have more cases of measles, but nobody talks about it. And you may say that less people die of measles, but mostly children are affected and they usually don't have other affections, so of course the mortality is lower. And the sad part is that they are probably going to do the same in autumn...

My aunt was raised with overprotective parents. They wouldn't even let her sleepover not even with a female friend. She would secretly date her HS sweetheart. Her uncle caught them making out once and made a big scene, dragging her all the way home, yelling about how that's not how young ladies behave, told her parents about it, etc. She got banned from seeing her boyfriend. Her parents were too focused on her waiting till marriage, never drinking nor smoking, that type of upbringing.

Result:
She didn't wait till marriage.
Her HS sweetheart wasn't her first and only boyfriend ever.
She was into parties for a bit as an adult, enjoying the freedom she never had.
She married her 4th boyfriend, a very liberal man.

Liberal/permissive style
She and her husband only had a daughter and she was raised in the liberal manner. She was allowed to go on camping trips and excursions (far from home) with friends, went out on a date at the age of 14 for the first time, didn't have a curfew and at the age of 16 got lectured about safe sex. My aunt didn't want to make the same mistake her family did to her.

Result:
She got pregnant at the age of 18 with her 3rd boyfriend.
Her ex boyfriend still pays child support and is in contact with the child often.
She's now 27, married with another guy and they have 2 kids.
My aunt and her husband thinks they exceeded on her liberalism.

Obviously neither extreme is good but which do you think is worse? Overprotective or very liberal parents?
