Freedom To vs. Freedom From

In a free society, you are free to live your life as you want. For example, you can drink yourself to death.

But you are also free to live it without anybody else hurting you. For example, an aggressive alcoholic.

As you can see, those two freedoms will often be in conflict. If you are free to do something, often you are limiting someone else freedom to live without your interference.

Recently, we can see this with travelers. You are free to travel, but people living in the tourist destinations are also free to live there without millions of tourists.
