More From Karl Ove Knausgard

The history of humanity is the history of human freedom...freedom is not, as engels thought, "the recognition of necessity." freedom is the opposite of necessity. freedom is necessity overcome. progress is, in essence, the progress of human freedom. yes, and after all, life itself is freedom. the evolution of life is the evolution of freedom.

A society that puts equality - in the sense of equality of outcome - ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality or freedom. the use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom. on the other hand, a society that puts freedom first will, as a happy by-product, end up with both greater freedom and greater equality. freedom means diversity but also mobility. it preserves the opportunity for today's less well off to become tomorrow's rich, and in the process, enables almost everyone, from top to bottom, to enjoy a richer and fuller life.

True freedom is not advanced in the permissive society, which confuses freedom with license to do anything whatever and which in the name of freedom proclaims a kind of general amorality. it is a caricature of freedom to claim that people are free to organize their lives with no reference to moral values, and to say that society does not have to ensure the protection and advancement of ethical values. such an attitude is destructive of freedom and peace.

Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.

Shame is the proper reaction when one has purposefully violated the accepted behavior of society. inflicting it is etiquette's response when its rules are disobeyed. the law has all kinds of nasty ways of retaliating when it is disregarded, but etiquette has only a sense of social shame to deter people from treating others in ways they know are wrong. so naturally miss manners wants to maintain the sense of shame. some forms of discomfort are fully justified, and the person who feels shame ought to be dealing with removing its causes rather than seeking to relieve the symptoms.

I think that the christian faith is right as against simple forms of secularism. that it believes that there is in man a radical freedom, and this freedom is creative but it is also destructive. and there's nothing that prevents this from being both creative and destructive.
