American essayist and social critic H. L. Mencken wrote, “The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe. ” However, his opinion is not absolutely correct, because an average man doesn’t always sacrifice his freedom for safety.

It's situations such as this that makes me not believe in legal obligation to the extent which Socrates does where it's almost absolute. I do agree with him that one should obey the laws of the land that governs them, but only to an extent. While the law may have been beneficial to you throughout your entire life and got you to where you are today, if it were to wrong you, you should be able to defend yourself.

In today’s society, everyone has their inalienable right to express themselves and be who they are. These rights, which allow us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, can never be taken away from us. However, people do not utilize these natural rights and often try to suppress their spirit in order to “fit in” with societies standards. This hedonistic culture conditions people to believe that showing your true emotions or opinions is “not cool.” People want to associate only with their “cliques,” such as the Alphas or Jocks. Often times, people become depressed and rely on anti-depressants to keep them sane, when all they have to do is be true to themselves and express themselves in a healthy way.

This doesn’t mean we should all go out and be terrible people just so we will appreciate our good experiences, but rather that we should learn from our mistakes. Lance Armstrong’s view of life is similar to this; he says that sometimes life is fun, and great, and other times it is horrible, but whether good or bad our experiences make us stronger people. It is these experiences which give our lives meaning. Meaning and value however, are completely different issues.
