Liberty
Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one? Or do the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many? Life cannot be life without liberty. Nor can liberty give way to indifference towards our fellow man. We can argue all we want about solutions, but any solution that does not solve the problem of human depravity and suffering is no solution at all. Fear of the unknown or of what we do not understand always leads to one place - tyranny. If tyranny is ever suggested, whether soft or direct, for the sake of our security and the sake of the global common good then it must always be based in the moral fabric of individual worth and individual liberty. What we end up choosing ultimately determines our destiny.
