#Freedom is useless to people who lack the imagination to use it productively


Freedom sadly doesn't work when a person doesn't know what to do with themselves. Or even if they did, they make no plans or figure out the intelligent decisions from the bad ones.

Case in point, not too long ago, a woman who was freed from modern-day slavery thanks to court intervention. In the end, the woman ended up coming back to that slave lifestyle simply because she doesn't know any way of life other than that.

Such is the case in the Philippines.
