Each time we plan an action, either it is something as trivial as to take a walk or a challenging thing as to open a trade, we need the necessary precondition of having the freedom to take such action; it would not make sense to make projects without the freedom to achieve them.
Even the protection of our values presupposes the capacity to protect freedom; freedom is then an essential virtually ubiquitous value to our existence, which importance is only second to life itself.
