Inner Debate

(Work in progress, folks. Feel free to put in your two cents if the mood strikes you.)

Resolved:
Self-imposed boundaries are not only necessary, they are also beneficial.

Government:
Self-imposed boundaries allow for an individual to define his standards for action, which in turn are defined by his standards of morality. Without boundaries, a person finds himself without principles to stand by making him ineffectual to his own person and to his society.

Opposition:
Thinking that boundaries are necessary and even beneficial is what breeds closed-mindedness and biases. The very things that result to bigotry, racism and other evils that delineate one group from another. Boundaries only serve to limit possibilities, and to not fully explore such possibilities robs man of his full potential which in turn deprives society as a whole.
