This is what freedom is all
about
“… the only purpose for which power can be rightfully
exercised over any member of a civilized community against his will is to
prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a
sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or to forbear
because it will be better for him to do so, because it will make him happier,
because in the opinions of other to do so would be wise or even right. These are
good reasons for remonstrating with him, or reasoning with him, or persuading
him, or entreating him, but not for compelling him, or visiting him with any
evil in case he do otherwise.”
--John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
[1859]
