Freedom and Vitality

Freedom can be taken to immediately indicate Vitality, not as a fundamental principle of Ethics, Political Philosophy, Psychology, or Metaphysics, but simply physiologically, i. e. as unconstrained movement.  However, unconstrained movement can also be a symptom of de-vitalization, i. e. as an expression of dissociation, e. g. the motion of a limb due to a neurological disorder.  Likewise, the rogue behavior of a member of a society can be interpreted in either way, thus demonstrating that the value of Freedom is not absolute, but, rather, is subordinate to that of Vitality.
