Why Must You Be Governed? Honestly I agree with you. I am against being governed. Especially in this way. I feel that this type of govenement, the same you described, is only the control of individuals through fear, fear of being punished. Its morals aren't real as they are not based on free will. We behave correctly in a society because we don't want to be punished. I don't feel like this is the way I want to live, considering that human beings have their own internal morality and, especially as adults, already know how to live and how to behave.
