>>10854394As with many popular buzzwords, "personal freedom" is a very inversion of what these words mean, and conversely, actually do not mean freedom at all, but rather consent, submission and consent to other masters. As St. Augustine, himself fallen to such a fictitious and 'vagrant liberty' would go on to exhort: "Thus, a good man, though a slave, is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves, not one man alone, but what is worse, as many masters as he has vices". Moreover, death will not end suffering. On the contrary, murdering yourself will lead to infinite suffering—which is justified as an insult against infinite majesty, thus a turning away from infinite good, leads to infinite and eternal corruption and damnation, a choice that the damned soul deliberately and willfully chose, despite a lifetime of opportunity to do otherwise with a simple turn to the opposite direction. Christ himself, did not wish to endure the ignominy, torture and pain of Calvary, and yet he did, oh he did, he saw it all the ways through to the point of being cruxified and nailed to a cross where he hung for six excruciating hours, he knew this would be his fate, and fell on the ground with tears and said "mi Pater si possibile est transeat a me calix iste" Father! Take this cup from me! And then, "verumtamen non sicut ego volo sed sicut tu"— not my will but yours! Where was Christ's personal freedom there. It is self-evident that "personal freedom" is nothing other than pride, arrogance and setting oneself up as God, yet (the irony!) when you do you cannot even match his majesty. Instead of being as God, what is it you chose to do with this 'personal freedom'. Filth. Fornication. Homosexuality. Abortion. Then when you can't stand it any more, you go to a state sanctioned doctor to kill yourself. It is your path, and following the will of you and other creatures that leads to ultimate and total degeneration, devastation, destruction of the individual.
