“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.”-By: Brigham Young

                                                  

I agree with this quote because if we do what is correct then we will have the freedom we want but if we choose the wrong then we won’t have freedom at all. For example if we go out with our friends and your parents want you home by a certain time. It is better to follow there rules because if you don’t then they may not let you out again after disobeying them. Instead of choosing the right we decide to choose the wrong because we find that way much easier but it is not worth our freedom. If we want to have freedom then we should be honest and do the right thing. When we choose the wrong then we will not have the freedom we desire to have. If we want to be independent and have fun with our friends then we should do what is correct because when we choose the wrong we have many bad consequences due to our actions. The independence comes when do good actions not only actions that benefit us but actions that may help others as well. Brigham is telling us that we should always do the right thing so we can gain independence. When we choose what is wrong we detain the freedom we want to receive because sometimes our actions cause us to be a certain way.
