Security V.S. Freedom

Security is feeling free from danger or threat, where freedom is the
right to think or speak as one wants without being punished.
It has always been a struggle to find a perfect balance of security and
freedom in our Country. Security is a sense of safety, which is
different for everyone. Some people might feel safe when they are
locked in a closet, where others might feel safe when they are walking
down the street in Compton. Since "feeling safe" is different for
everyone, how do we make everyone have a general sense of safety? We really can't because no matter what there will always be people who don’t feel safe, or people who feel that their freedom is being restricted for the sake of feeling safe.
